Morphology
club + sandwich
The noun 'club' modifies 'sandwich' to indicate a particular type or variety of sandwich, so a learner who knows 'club' (as a social group/place) and 'sandwich' can infer it denotes a sandwich associated with a club or a specific style. The exact recipe (three slices, bacon, poultry, etc.) is conventional and not fully predictable, but the basic compositional meaning is transparent.
Etymology
The noun club sandwich likely comes from private clubs where people met to eat. One popular story says a hotel in Saratoga, New York, served a tall sandwich with three slices of bread for club members, so people began to call it the club sandwich, which is why today it names a stacked sandwich with meat, bacon, lettuce and tomato.
