Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'registered' (formally recorded/authorized) modifying 'representative' (person acting on others' behalf), yielding an officially authorized agent. This adjective+noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the basic meaning even if specific professional duties (e.g., brokerage tasks) require extra domain knowledge.
Etymology
The phrase registered representative joins registered, meaning 'on an official list', and representative, meaning someone who 'acts for' another. So imagine a person on a record who is allowed to speak and act for a client, and that image explains why the term means someone officially allowed to manage accounts and give advice.
