Morphology
The compound 'stand mixer' is directly compositional: 'mixer' (a device that mixes) modified by 'stand' (a support or mounting), so a learner who knows both words can infer it is a mixer mounted on a stand. This modifier+noun pattern is common in English and in many other languages, making the meaning immediately derivable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
Stand mixer comes from the simple image of a mixer fixed on a stand. Early electric versions were made to sit on the counter and work on their own so cooks did not have to hold them, and that is why the name now means 'an electric mixer that stays on a stand'.
