Morphology
The meaning 'a strong and enduring relationship based on mutual confidence' is directly derivable from combining 'bond' (a tie) with 'trust' (confidence), with 'of' simply linking the nouns; the phrase is a literal, compositional noun phrase. This construction and concept are cross-linguistically common (e.g. 'vínculo de confianza', 'lien de confiance'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Bond of trust may come from the image of a strong rope or link (bond) that ties two people together so they help and hold each other up, showing the safety of trust. So it means a close connection where people can 'rely' on and 'believe' each other.
