Morphology
The meaning is directly built from the proper name 'Clinton' and the noun 'administration' (a leader's term in office), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the government during Clinton's presidency. This X + administration pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows a regular compositional pattern, making the expression immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Clinton administration comes from using a president's last name (Clinton) plus the word administration to mean the 'government' and the team in charge during their years in office. So, Clinton administration refers to the United States government and its actions from 1993 to 2001.
