Morphology

web + page

The meaning 'a document available on the World Wide Web' is directly and compositionally derived from 'web' (the internet) + 'page' (a document or side of a sheet), so a learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE. This noun+noun compounding is a common and cross-linguistic pattern (e.g., página web, page Web) making the expression immediately transparent to B1 learners.

Etymology

Web page uses two clear images: a web like a spider's net that connects many things, and a page like a sheet of paper. So a web page is one 'document' on the internet that you open in your browser.
