Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'intelligence' (secret/information) + 'analyst' (someone who analyzes), so a learner who knows both words can infer this denotes a person who analyzes intelligence. This is a straightforward professional compound found across languages, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners familiar with the constituents.
Etymology
Intelligence analyst joins intelligence, meaning important 'information' about enemies or risks, with analyst, a person who studies details. Imagine someone looking at maps, photos and reports to spot patterns and 'find threats', and that picture shows why the term means a person who collects and checks information for a government.
