Surface Forms

Morphology

jewelry + dealer

The meaning 'a person or business that buys and sells jewelry' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'jewelry' (adornments) with 'dealer' (seller/business). The noun+dealer compound is a regular, compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Jewelry dealer shows a simple picture: jewelry is the goods and dealer is a person who 'buys and sells'. So, it means someone whose job is buying and selling jewellery.
