Morphology
The meaning 'a person responsible for setting plans or decisions' is directly compositional from 'policy' (a plan or guiding principle) + 'maker' (a person who makes). This noun–noun compound follows a regular English formation pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended occupational/role meaning. Any slight nuance (maker often implies producing things) is resolved by context, preserving overall transparency.
Etymology
Policy maker combines policy, a 'plan' or 'rule' used by a government or group, and maker, someone who creates things, so picture a person at a desk writing rules for many people. That's why a policy maker is someone who decides the official plans and rules for a government or organization.
