Morphology
The meaning 'one of a set of cards used for fortune-telling' is directly and compositionally derived from 'tarot' (playing/fortune-telling cards) plus 'card' (a single playing/item). This is a straightforward noun+noun compound denoting a member of a tarot deck, a pattern that is cross-linguistically common and immediately understandable to a learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Tarot card comes from sets of picture cards made in Europe long ago. People first used these cards for 'games', but readers began to use the strong pictures and 'symbols' to tell a person's story and guess the future, so today a tarot card means a card with a symbolic image used for 'fortune-telling' or in a 'game'.
