Morphology
The meaning of 'investment trust' is directly and transparently built from 'investment' (putting money to gain returns) + 'trust' (a legal vehicle holding assets), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes an entity that pools and manages investors' money. While precise legal/financial specifics (e.g., closed-end structure) are technical, the core idea of a pooled investment vehicle is predictable from the constituents.
Etymology
Investment trust comes from the idea of an investment as money used to grow and a trust as someone who holds money for others. Imagine many people giving their savings to one trusted manager who mixes the money and buys shares for everyone; that's why the phrase means a company that 'pools money' and 'invests for many people'.
