Morphology
Given knowledge of 'security' as a financial instrument and 'analyst' as someone who evaluates data, a B1 learner can readily infer that a 'securities analyst' is a professional who analyzes securities. The compound follows a straightforward noun+noun composition common across languages and in English financial vocabulary, so the meaning is directly derivable from its parts.
Etymology
Securities analyst comes from two parts: securities, meaning financial papers like 'stocks' and 'bonds', and analyst, a person who studies facts. Imagine someone reading company reports and charts to find good investments, and then telling 'investors' what to buy, so a securities analyst is a person who studies companies to give that advice.
