Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'security' (a tradable asset such as a share or bond) + 'market' (a place or system for trading). This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer 'securities market' as the marketplace where securities are traded, despite its somewhat technical register.
Etymology
Securities market comes from the image of a busy trading floor where people exchange paper securities, notes that show ownership like 'stocks' or 'bonds'. So, it now means a market where professionals buy and sell these investment papers.
