Morphology
The compound transparently signals a government-issued financial instrument since 'Treasury' relates to government finance and 'note' to a debt/security, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will likely infer it is a government debt paper. However, the specific technical details (maturities of 1–10 years, auction mechanics) are specialized jargon not predictable from the words alone, so the item is only partially compositional.
Etymology
The term Treasury note comes from a simple image: the government's treasury, its money office, giving a note, a written promise to pay money later. So a Treasury note today is a government paper you can buy that 'promises' to 'pay back' after some years.
