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 was later used by former fighters who entered politics after the 2016 peace agreement and kept the same name to show their origins. So today the phrase can also mean the new legal 'political party' formed from the old guerrilla movement.
