Morphology
Fuerzas + armada + Revolucionarios + de + Colombia
The phrase is compositionally built from clear constituents (Fuerzas = forces, Armadas/armada = armed/naval force, Revolucionarios = revolutionaries, de = of, Colombia = Colombia), so a learner who knows those words can infer it denotes the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia — an organization of armed revolutionaries from Colombia. The fine-grained historical detail that it now functions as a political party after the 2016 peace process is not derivable from the words, but the core referential meaning is directly and transparently composed from the constituents.
Etymology
Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarios de Colombia literally breaks into Fuerzas ('forces'), Armadas ('armed') and Revolucionarios ('revolutionaries'), giving the clear image of an armed group fighting for political change. That's why the name refers to the guerrilla group that fought in parts of Colombia.
