Morphology
The meaning 'the division responsible for planning and managing advertisements' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'advertising' (activity of making ads) with 'department' (an organizational unit). This compound noun follows a common, compositional pattern found across languages (e.g., departamento de publicidad), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The compound advertising department comes from the simple idea of a part of a company where people plan and make ads: department is a part of the company and advertising means making 'ads'. Imagine a team in one room creating posters and TV ads, so advertising department means the team responsible for the company's 'ads'.
