Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'professional' (a qualified person working in a profession) + 'person' (a human individual); together they straightforwardly denote someone engaged in a profession. This adjective+noun combination follows standard, cross-linguistically common patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Professional person comes from the idea that a professional 'professes' — publicly says they have a special skill. That's why a professional person means someone with special training who does that job and is paid for it.
