Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'thyroid' denotes something of or from the thyroid gland and 'hormone' denotes a chemical messenger, so the phrase plainly refers to hormones produced by the thyroid. This modifier+noun pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Thyroid hormone gets its name from the small, shield-shaped gland in the neck: the word thyroid comes from an old Greek word for 'shield', and hormone means a chemical 'messenger'. These hormones tell the body's cells how fast to use energy, so they control the body's 'speed' or activity.
