Morphology
The meaning 'an expert in the study of human society' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'social' (relating to society) with 'scientist' (a person who does scientific study), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer 'a scientist who studies society'. This adj+noun compounding is a common and predictable pattern cross-linguistically, making the expression readily comprehensible without prior exposure.
Etymology
Social scientist is a name made of two simple ideas: social means people living or meeting together and scientist is a person who studies things carefully. So a social scientist watches how people behave in groups and studies their relationships, which is why the term means 'an expert in the study of human society and social relationships'.
