Morphology
The meaning 'the series of mental steps and reasoning' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'thought' (an idea or act of thinking) with 'process' (a sequence of steps). This noun+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Thought process gives a simple picture: thought moving step by step along a path or through a process from one idea to the next. So, it means 'the series of mental steps' or 'reasoning' you use to understand or solve something.
