Morphology
The meaning 'an employee who belongs to the staff' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'staff' (the employees of an organization) and 'member' (a person in a group). This noun+noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern and is predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Staff member comes from the idea of a staff (a long stick that gives support or shows authority) and member, a part of a group. One clear image is people who help a leader being like parts of that staff, so today a staff member means 'a worker who is part of an organization'.
