Morphology
The meaning is directly built from the constituents: 'cool' (fashionable) + 'hunter' (someone who searches), so a learner who knows both words can infer 'a person who seeks out what is fashionable or trending.' This noun–noun compounding is a transparent, productive pattern in English (and appears similarly in other languages), making the MWE predictable to B1 learners.
Etymology
Cool hunter comes from the picture of a hunter looking for what is cool, like new clothes, music, or ideas before other people notice them. That's why it means a person who finds and predicts new 'trends'.
