Morphology

republic + of + Hungary

The phrase is a straightforward composition of 'republic' (a form of government) + 'of' + the country name 'Hungary', so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer it refers to the state called Hungary. This naming pattern is cross-linguistically regular (e.g. República de Hungría, République de Hongrie), making the meaning immediately transparent.

Etymology

Republic of Hungary comes from the time when the country stopped being a kingdom and became a republic, meaning it is run by elected leaders instead of a king. That's why the phrase is the country's 'official name'.
