Morphology
The meaning 'a sum of money borrowed from a bank' is directly derivable from combining 'bank' (a financial institution) with 'loan' (an amount borrowed). This compositional noun phrase follows a common possessive/attributive pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase bank loan comes from the simple picture of a bank handing you money as a loan that you must later return. That's why it means 'an amount of money borrowed from a bank, to be paid back with interest by an agreed date'.
