Morphology
international + association + of + Lions + club
The phrase is directly compositional: 'international' modifies 'association', and 'of Lions clubs' specifies the member clubs, so a learner who knows the words can infer it denotes an association of Lions clubs operating across countries. Although it is a proper name and detailed information about its charitable mission isn’t fully deducible, the core meaning (a worldwide association of clubs called 'Lions') is transparent.
Etymology
International Association of Lions Clubs gets its name from the lion, a strong animal used as a symbol of courage and care, and from many local clubs working together. Imagine local clubs wearing a lion badge and doing 'service', and that image helps you remember it is a worldwide group of 'volunteers' who help their communities.
