Morphology
department + of + anthropology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'department' (an organizational or academic unit) combined with 'of anthropology' specifies the field. A B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer it denotes the academic division responsible for anthropology; this pattern (X department meaning the department for X) is common cross-linguistically and highly predictable.
Etymology
Department of anthropology comes from how universities are organised: a department is a part of a school, and anthropology means 'study of people'. So the name points to the part of a university that teaches and studies human cultures and life.
