Morphology

belt + maker

The meaning 'a person or company that makes belts' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'belt' (the product) with 'maker' (an agent who produces something). This noun+agent pattern (X maker = maker of X) is regular in English and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Belt maker is a literal name: the maker makes belts, so imagine a worker at a small table cutting leather, sewing it, and adding a metal buckle. That's why the phrase means 'a person or company that makes belts'.
