Morphology
The meaning 'an authority group that makes and enforces rules' is directly and compositionally derived from 'governing' (holding power to make and enforce rules) + 'body' (a collective group). Although the entry describes a technical decentralized implementation, the core sense of 'a group that governs' is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Governing body comes from a simple image: governing means making the rules and body means a group of people acting as one. So a governing body is 'a group' that leads and decides for an organization.
