Morphology
The noun phrase is compositionally built from 'class' (a category or grade) + 'list' (a recorded sequence), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a list relating to classes or class grades — specifically names organized by academic class. This pattern is cross-linguistically ordinary and follows normal English noun+noun composition, so the overall meaning is immediately recoverable despite minor possible ambiguity about whether it lists classes or students.
Etymology
Class list comes from past university practice. Examiners would post a printed list that showed students grouped under their class, for example 'first' or 'second'. That's why it means an official list showing which degree class each student received.
