Morphology
The noun is compositionally transparent: 'check' (a verification tick or indicator) plus 'mark' (a symbol) directly yields a symbol indicating verification. This compound follows a common noun+noun naming pattern and the social-media sense is a direct extension of the basic meanings, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Check mark for social sites uses the same idea: a small check shows someone has been 'checked' and confirmed, so the symbol is used to show an account is 'verified' or 'official'.
