Morphology
The meaning 'a scientist who studies mental processes' is directly derivable from combining 'cognitive' (relating to mental processes) with 'scientist' (a scientific researcher). This straightforward adjective+noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows regular modification rules, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand the MWE.
Etymology
Cognitive scientist comes from joining cognitive, meaning 'thinking', and scientist, meaning a person who studies things. Imagine a researcher in a lab watching how people 'think', 'remember', 'see', and 'use language', so the term means a person who studies those parts of the mind.
