Morphology
As a capitalized proper name, "New Deal" refers to a specific historical, large-scale set of government reforms under F.D.R.; the constituents 'new' + 'deal' only suggest a recent agreement or policy initiative and do not by themselves convey the specialized historical/political scope. A B1 learner who knows the words would get a vague sense of a 'new policy/agreement' but not the full, culturally specific meaning, so the expression is partially but not fully transparent.
Etymology
New Deal was the name FDR used in speeches between 1933 and 1940, using the image of a fresh deal of cards to promise change and hope. That's why the proper name New Deal refers to his specific programme of reforms and spending in that period.
