Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'mutual' (shared or held in common) with 'fund' (a pool of money/financial vehicle): a fund that is shared by many investors. This compound follows a transparent noun + noun/adj+noun composition common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents is likely to infer the correct sense.
Etymology
Mutual fund comes from the words mutual, meaning 'shared', and fund, meaning 'a pool of money'. Imagine many people putting money into one pot while a professional chooses investments for everyone, so the term now means 'an investment where many people's money is joined and managed together'.
