Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'bond' (a debt instrument) with 'certificate' (a formal document): together they denote the document that represents a bond. This is a regular noun–noun compound following common compositional patterns with clear cross‑linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand it.
Etymology
The term bond certificate comes from the idea of a written bond, a 'promise to pay', and a certificate, the paper 'proof' of that promise. So a bond certificate is the paper that shows someone made a 'loan' and promises to pay it back.
