Morphology
The meaning 'an arrangement with a bank that allows you to deposit, withdraw, and keep track of your money' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bank' (a financial institution) with 'account' (a record or arrangement for money). This noun-noun compound follows a regular compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound noun bank account comes from a simple picture: a bank is a place that keeps money and an account is the written 'record' of what someone has. Imagine someone writing in a book every time you put money in or take money out; that book is your bank account, so the phrase means the place or record where you keep and manage your money.
