Morphology
The phrase 'decision making' is directly compositional: combining 'decision' (a choice) with 'making' (the act of producing) yields 'the process of producing decisions.' This is a common, cross-linguistic nominalization pattern (e.g., 'prise de décision', 'toma de decisiones') and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrase decision making comes from a simple image: someone standing at a fork in the road picking a path, where the decision is the 'choice' and making is the act of choosing. So, it means the steps a person or group takes to reach a 'choice' after thinking about different options.
