Morphology
Because 'bear' is given here in its financial sense ('a person who expects market prices to fall') and 'market' denotes the trading arena, a B1 learner who knows both constituents can compositionally infer a 'bear market' is a market characterized by falling prices. Although the animal metaphor underlies the term, the meaning follows directly from the provided constituent senses, making it readily comprehensible.
Etymology
The term bear market may come from the image of a bear swiping its paw downward, a movement people used to show prices falling. So today bear market means 'a period when prices fall'.
