How Reinvested
Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly and predictably derived from 'reinvest' (put earnings back into investments) + 'dividend' (payment to shareholders); a learner who knows both words can infer that it means using dividend payments to buy more shares. This compositional pattern is straightforward and common across languages and financial contexts, so it should be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Reinvest dividend can be pictured like a gardener who uses the fruit of a tree to plant new seeds. The dividend is the 'fruit' — a small payment from your investment — and to reinvest it means you buy more shares with it instead of taking it as 'cash', so your investment can grow over time.
