Morphology
The phrase is compositional: 'Lateran' names the place (the Lateran Palace/Basilica) and 'council' is an ecclesiastical assembly, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes a church council held at the Lateran. While it refers to specific historical events, that specificity does not block straightforward derivation from the parts.
Etymology
Lateran Council is named after the 'Lateran Palace' in Rome where church leaders met long ago. The words Lateran (the place) and Council (a meeting) paint the picture. Because important church meetings were held at that palace, the phrase came to mean one of those major church meetings.
