Morphology
The meaning 'the area of finance dealing with corporations' is directly and compositionally derived from 'corporate' (relating to corporations) + 'finance' (financial activity). This straightforward noun phrase follows common compounding patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Corporate finance comes from imagining a company as one person with a wallet: corporate means the whole company or 'body' and finance means handling 'money'. So, corporate finance is about managing a company's money, deciding how to spend, borrow, or invest for the whole company.
