Morphology

stockbroking = stockbroking (semi-transparent) = stock + broking

The adjective is a zero-derived use of the noun 'stockbroking', so the form is unchanged but the relation is still fairly clear.

Etymology

Stockbroking joins stock and broker: stock once meant a 'supply of goods' and now usually means company 'shares', and a broker is someone who trades for other people. So, when we call a company or service stockbroking, we mean it is connected with the business of buying and selling shares for clients.
