Morphology
national + academy + of + science
The name is a straightforward noun phrase composed of 'national' + 'academy' + 'of' + 'sciences' and directly denotes an academy at the national level concerned with the sciences; a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can readily infer this. As a compositional proper name following normal English noun-phrase patterns (and with clear cross-linguistic equivalents), its meaning is transparent rather than idiomatic or metaphorical.
Etymology
National Academy of Sciences began in 1863 when top American scientists were asked to give the government scientific advice. The name is literal: national shows it serves the whole country, academy means a group of experts, and sciences shows their work, so today it means a respected group of scientists who 'advise the nation'.
