Morphology
A learner who knows 'federal' (relating to the national government) and 'reserve' (a stored supply) can infer this refers to some government-held reserve or institution, so the parts give a useful clue. However, the precise institutional meaning — the United States central bank that sets monetary policy — is specialized and lexicalized, not fully derivable from the constituents, so the expression is only partly predictable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Federal Reserve gets its name from its job: federal means 'for the whole country' and reserve means 'saved money kept for safety'. So the Federal Reserve is the country's main bank that holds money reserves and helps manage the national economy.
