Morphology
stop-loss + order
The compound clearly combines 'stop' + 'loss' with 'order', so a learner who knows those words can infer it is an instruction intended to stop or limit losses — the basic purpose is compositional and cross-linguistically transparent. However, the precise financial mechanism (an automated price-triggered instruction to sell or buy) is technical and not fully predictable from the constituents alone, so full understanding requires domain knowledge.
Etymology
Stop-loss order is named for what it does: you give an order to stop a loss by automatically selling when the price falls to a level you choose. That's why it means 'an instruction to limit losses'.
