Morphology

Harkat + ul-Mujahedeen

This is a proper name for a specific militant organization rather than a compositional English phrase. Its constituents are non‑English transliterations (roughly 'movement' + 'mujahedeen/fighters' in Arabic/Urdu) and even if a learner knew those literal meanings they would not be able to infer the group's identity, historical role, or political/terrorist connotations without background knowledge. Because the meaning depends on world knowledge and naming rather than predictable composition, it is opaque to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Harkat ul-Mujahedeen comes from Arabic and Urdu words: Harkat means 'movement' and ul-Mujahedeen means 'of the fighters', because 'mujahideen' were people who fought for their faith. So the name literally means 'movement of the fighters', which explains why it is used for an 'armed political group' active in the region.
