Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'lymphatic' means related to lymph and 'system' denotes an ensemble of organs or vessels, so a learner knowing both constituents can infer it is the body's network for lymph. Although somewhat technical/medical, the semantic combination is regular and mirrored in other languages, making the meaning derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Lymphatic system comes from the old word lymph meaning clear water and system meaning a connected group. Early doctors thought the pale fluid looked like water moving in small tubes, like tiny rivers that 'carry' waste and cells that fight germs, so the name fits a body network that 'protects' us and keeps fluids in balance.
