Morphology
The meaning 'a system or place where shares are bought and sold' is directly and compositionally derived from 'stock' (shares) + 'market' (place/exchange), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer it. This noun+noun compound follows a common cross-linguistic pattern and has clear equivalents in many languages, supporting full transparency.
Etymology
Stock market comes from stock, an old word for goods or a company's money, and market, a place to trade. Imagine people meeting at a market to buy and sell 'shares', small 'parts of a business', and that picture explains why stock market today means the place or system where 'shares' are bought and sold.
