Morphology
Combining 'Democratic' and 'party' will lead a learner to infer a political organization that endorses democratic principles, so the basic idea (a political party) is transparent from the constituents. However, the specific conventional meaning — that this is the proper-name U.S. major party associated with liberal/progressive policies — is not fully derivable from the words alone, so the full sense is not predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Democratic Party comes from the words Democratic (about rule by the 'people') and Party (a political group), so it began as a group that said it would speak for ordinary citizens. That's why the Democratic Party today is one of the two big U.S. political parties known for ideas to help many people.
