Morphology
real + estate + investment + trust
All parts ('real estate' = property, 'investment' = putting in money for return, 'trust' = a legal/financial vehicle) combine compositionally to denote an investment vehicle for property; a learner who knows each constituent can infer it is an entity that pools money to invest in real estate and distribute income. This is a predictable, cross-linguistic compound noun pattern (investment + trust for real estate) rather than an idiom, so it is transparent to B1 learners who know the component meanings.
Etymology
Real Estate Investment Trust comes from the simple idea of a trust that buys real estate as an investment for many people. A trust is a way to hold property for others, so this structure lets people buy 'shares' and get 'income' from buildings without owning them themselves.
