Surface Forms

tip sheet singular
tip sheets plural

Morphology

tip + sheet

The meaning 'a sheet or short publication containing tips or leads' is directly and compositionally derived from 'tip' (a hint or piece of advice) + 'sheet' (a piece of paper/publication). This noun-compounding pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Tip sheet may come from a simple handout that listed short 'tips' on one page. Picture a small sheet with quick tips or betting 'predictions'. That's why it now means a short publication with advice or predictions.
