Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun composition meaning ‘an expert in escapes’ and a B1 learner who knows ‘escape’ (an act of getting away) and ‘expert’ (a specialist) can readily infer this. The formation follows common and transparent English patterns (X expert = expert in X), so the specific occupational sense (e.g. escape-room professional) is predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Escape expert also came to be used for people who design or run live puzzle rooms, because these games copy the idea of getting out by solving clues. The word escape means 'getting out' and expert means 'a skilled person', so the phrase now means 'a person who plans, organizes, or runs escape-room games'.
