Morphology
The compound clearly combines 'participation' (taking part/involvement) with 'financing' (providing funds), so a learner could infer it refers to financing that involves multiple parties. However, the precise technical sense — a specific bank-to-bank joint loan arrangement — is specialized and not fully predictable from everyday usage, so it is only partially transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Participation financing comes from the simple image of several banks joining to provide one large loan: participation means 'taking part' and financing means 'giving money'. So the banks 'share' the loan and the 'risk', which is why the phrase means several lenders join to fund one big loan.
