Morphology

Fatah + Tanzim

Both constituents are proper names whose meanings indicate a political group (Fatah) and an armed wing/organization (Tanzim); together they compose straightforwardly as 'the Tanzim associated with Fatah' (i.e. Fatah's armed wing). This is a compositional, non-idiomatic name-building pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the parts would be able to infer the meaning.

Etymology

Fatah Tanzim comes from two Arabic words. Fatah is the name of the political movement and Tanzim means 'organization' or 'group', so the name literally means a 'Fatah organization' and explains why it refers to the Fatah-linked group that took part in both politics and fighting.
