Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'growth' (increase in size) + 'hormone' (a glandular chemical) yields a hormone that promotes growth, so the basic meaning is immediately inferable. Although detailed physiological information (e.g. which gland produces it) is technical, a B1 learner who knows both constituents can understand the general sense.
Etymology
Growth hormone shows the idea clearly: growth means getting bigger and hormone is a chemical that carries a message. It is made in a small gland in the brain and tells the body to 'grow', so the name means the hormone that causes growth.
