Morphology
high-yield + bond
The phrase is compositionally built from 'high' + 'yield' + 'bond' and a learner who knows the constituents will readily infer it denotes a bond that pays a high return/interest. The technical nuance that such bonds often have low credit ratings (i.e., 'junk' status) is specialized knowledge, but the core meaning (a bond with high yield) is directly derivable from the parts and follows a common compounding pattern.
Etymology
The compound noun high-yield bond comes from the idea of a bond, a loan that gives a high yield ('a large return'). Riskier borrowers must pay more to get money, so these bonds offer bigger payments but more chance of loss. That's why high-yield bond means 'a risky bond that pays more'.
