Morphology
Harakat + al-Jihad + al-Islami + al-Filastini
The name is fully compositional: Harakat (movement) + al-Jihad (the jihad) + al-Islami (Islamic) + al-Filastini (Palestinian) yields the literal meaning 'Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement.' Although it is a proper name for a specific group, its semantic components directly reveal that it denotes an Islamic/Jihadist movement in Palestine, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Harakat al-Jihad al-Islami al-Filastini is made of parts: Harakat meaning 'movement', al-Jihad and al-Islami meaning 'Islamic Jihad' or 'Islamic struggle', and al-Filastini meaning 'Palestinian'. That's why the name is a memory hook: it calls the group a Palestinian movement for 'Islamic' armed struggle, so today the phrase means a militant organization.
