Morphology
The meaning 'a person who studies and evaluates conditions affecting a market' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'market' (commerce/trade) with 'analyst' (an expert who evaluates data). This standard noun‑noun compound follows regular compositional patterns and is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Market analyst comes from a simple picture: someone at a busy market watching prices and customers and making notes like a careful analyst. That's why the name means 'a person who studies markets and gives advice'.
