Morphology
Fatah + revolutionary + council
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'Fatah' names the political group, 'revolutionary' describes a radical/political stance, and 'council' denotes a committee or governing body, so a B1 learner who knows the parts can infer it refers to a council of revolutionaries within Fatah. Specific historical details (e.g. the 1974 split from the PLO or particular militant actions) are not derivable from the constituents, but the basic organizational meaning is.
Etymology
Fatah Revolutionary Council name comes from inside the Fatah movement: Fatah is the movement's name and Revolutionary Council describes a small leadership group that wanted a more forceful, 'revolutionary' way of acting. So the name came to refer to the group that 'split' from the PLO and carried out armed attacks, which is why it is used for a militant group today.
