Morphology
The compound combines 'trading' (the act of exchanging) with 'card' (a small rectangular item), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it is a card intended for collecting or exchange. While modern uses may include digital/NFT forms, the core meaning (a collectible/exchangeable card) is transparently derived from the constituents.
Etymology
Trading card comes from small paper cards put into packs of gum or cereal long ago, where children would swap or 'trade' them to get their favorite players or pictures. That's why trading card means a small card with a picture that people collect and swap.
