How Illegal
Surface Forms
Morphology
The compound is compositionally built from 'insider' (a person with privileged information) + 'trading' (buying/selling), so a learner who knows both parts can infer it refers to trading carried out by insiders. However, the crucial legal status (that this practice is illegal) is a pragmatic/legal detail not fully predictable from the constituents alone, so full understanding may require extra world knowledge.
Etymology
Insider trading comes from the simple image of an insider, someone inside a company, using secret information to trade stocks. Because they buy or sell before the public and get an unfair advantage, the phrase now means the 'illegal' use of private company news to make money.
