Morphology
The compound 'decision maker' is directly compositional: 'decision' (a choice) + 'maker' (one who makes), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes a person or thing that makes decisions. Although specialized uses may refer to algorithms or automated systems, the basic meaning follows common noun-compound patterns and is therefore transparent.
Etymology
Decision maker is now also used for a computer or program that 'makes' choices automatically, because the words decision and maker together suggest something that makes a choice. Imagine a machine reading rules and picking the best option, and that is why it means a 'program' or system that decides without a human.
