Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'keynote' (the principal speech that sets a conference's tone) + 'speaker' (someone who gives a speech) yields the person who delivers the keynote. This noun–noun construction and the role it describes are cross-linguistically common and readily inferable by a learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrase keynote speaker comes from music: the keynote is the main note that sets a song's key. So a keynote speaker sets the meeting's main idea and 'tone'.
