Morphology
The meaning 'an activity intended to build trust' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'trust' (confidence in someone's reliability) with 'exercise' (an activity or drill to develop something). This straightforward noun+noun composition (an exercise for trust) is a common semantic pattern across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Trust exercise comes from simple team activities where one person, often with eyes closed, falls backward so a partner can catch them. The picture of doing a short, physical test explains the parts trust and exercise: you 'practice' trusting someone, so the phrase means an activity to help a group trust each other.
