Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'brokerage' (a firm that arranges trading) + 'account' (a record or client account) yields an account held at a brokerage for trading securities. There is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift—it's domain-specific but predictable from the known constituents, so a learner who knows both words will understand it.
Etymology
Brokerage account comes from the simple picture of a broker, a person who helps 'buy and sell' for you, keeping an account or record of your money and trades. So a brokerage account today is the account you hold with a broker to put money in and 'trade' stocks and bonds.
