Morphology
The meaning 'a bond issued by a corporation' is directly and compositionally derived from 'corporate' (relating to a corporation) + 'bond' (a debt instrument). This is a regular noun–noun compound with no idiomatic shift and has clear cross-linguistic parallels, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Corporate bond combines corporate (a company) and bond (a written promise to pay). Picture a company giving you a paper promise that pays regular interest and then returns your money — a kind of 'loan' to the company, not a share that gives 'ownership'.
