The sentence is composed of 'この' (kono, 'this'), '店' (mise, 'store'), 'は' (wa, topic particle), '高い' (takai, 'expensive' or 'tall'), and 'です か' (desu ka, polite interrogative ending). '高い' (takai) can mean both 'expensive' and 'tall' depending on context. In this sentence, referring to a 'store', it implies 'expensive'. The origin of '高い' traces back to Old Japanese, relating to elevation and cost.
