Morphology
The noun is built from clearly meaningful constituents—'savings' + 'account' + 'trust'—so a learner who knows those words can likely infer it refers to a savings account that is organized as a trust (i.e., money held/managed for beneficiaries). However, the detailed legal/financial implications (trustee control during life, payout on death) are technical and not fully predictable from the words alone, making the overall meaning only partially transparent.
Etymology
Savings account trust creates a simple picture: it is a savings account that the owner holds as a trust. The owner keeps control while alive, but the money goes to a named person 'after they die'.
