Morphology
The meaning 'a fund held and managed by a trustee for the benefit of others' is directly derivable from combining 'trust' (a legal arrangement where assets are held for beneficiaries) with 'fund' (a sum of money). This noun–noun compound follows ordinary compositional semantics and similar constructions exist cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can generally infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Trust fund comes from the picture of a fund (a sum of money) placed in trust — held by someone you trust to look after it for another person. So the phrase means money kept and managed by one person 'for the benefit of' someone else.
