Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a political party that advocates for environmental protection' is directly compositional from 'Green' (relating to environmentalism) + 'party' (a political organization). This adjective+noun combination is a productive, cross-linguistic naming pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Green Party gets its name from green, a color that makes people think of plants and nature, and party, meaning a political group. Because people who care about nature used green as their symbol, a Green Party today is a political party whose main goal is 'to protect the environment'.
