Morphology

symbolic + logician

The phrase is a straightforward adjective+noun composition: 'symbolic' modifies 'logician' to mean a logician who works with symbols or symbolic logic. This follows regular compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words can easily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Symbolic logician comes from the idea of using symbolic signs or letters to write clear rules for thinking. A logician is a person who studies logic, so the phrase means 'someone who studies or teaches formal systems using symbols', which is why we use it today.
