Morphology
The compound combines 'tour' (a trip or sequence of stops) with 'guide' (one who leads or explains), so its meaning is directly the entity that guides a tour; this compositional relation is transparent to learners who know both words. Even when used for software ('guided walkthrough'), the meaning remains a straightforward extension—'a guide that provides a tour'—and many languages use the same logic, so a B1 learner can infer it from the constituents.
Etymology
Tour guide comes from the simple image of a person who leads a tour and points out interesting places; a guide walks in front, tells stories, and helps visitors. So the phrase means 'a person employed to show tourists around and provide information'.
