Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'trusted' (reliable, deserving of confidence) modifies 'advisor' (a person who gives advice), yielding an advisor who is relied upon for guidance. This adjective+noun pattern is a basic, cross-linguistically common combination, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase trusted advisor comes from a simple picture: someone you can trust who stands close as an advisor, quietly giving advice to a leader. So it means a person you 'rely on' to 'give good advice' over time.
