Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'administrative' (relating to management/government) + 'hearing' (an official session), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to an official session dealing with administrative or government matters rather than a regular court trial. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically, making the phrase immediately comprehensible to B1 learners familiar with the constituent meanings.
Etymology
Administrative hearing comes from two clear images: administrative meaning a government or company office and hearing meaning a meeting where an official listens to both sides. So, an administrative hearing is a meeting 'outside the court' where an official listens and then decides about a disagreement.
