Morphology
administrative + data + processing
The phrase is fully compositional: it denotes the processing of data for administrative (organizational/business) purposes, which a B1 learner who knows 'administrative', 'data' and 'processing' can infer. The collocation 'data processing' and the straightforward modifier 'administrative' make the overall meaning predictable across languages despite its mild technical register.
Etymology
The term administrative data processing comes from the picture of a busy office where people sorted and checked paper records. As computers took over that job, the words administrative, meaning office work, data, meaning information, and processing, meaning handling and organizing, came together and now administrative data processing means 'to manage and store business records'.
