Morphology

exchange = exchange (semi-transparent) = ex + change

The institution is understood as a place where things are exchanged, but this place or organization sense is a lexical specialization rather than a fully regular action noun.

Etymology

Exchange was also used for markets where people swapped goods, so it came to mean a place for organized trading. That's why a stock exchange is a market where traders buy and sell shares or commodities.
