Morphology
The meaning of 'ethics panel' is directly and transparently derived from 'ethics' (moral principles) plus 'panel' (a committee), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a committee that deals with ethical issues. This compound pattern (e.g., X panel/committee) is common and cross-linguistically recognizable, making it accessible to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Ethics panel joins ethics (ideas about 'right and wrong') and panel (a small group who meet to decide). Imagine people sitting together to hear a case and choose what is fair, and that's why it means 'a committee that decides about moral problems'.
