Morphology
The meaning 'a person who studies political science' is directly derivable from combining 'political' (relating to politics) with 'scientist' (someone who studies or researches systematically). This adjective + noun composition is a regular, compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Political scientist joins political and scientist. Think of a scientist who watches governments, parties and votes like an experiment, and that picture shows why a political scientist is someone who 'studies' and is an 'expert' in politics and government.
