Morphology
The meaning is a straightforward composition of 'military' (connected to armed forces) + 'hospital' (medical facility), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer it denotes a hospital run for military personnel. This compound follows common noun modification patterns found cross-linguistically, making the sense transparent and predictable.
Etymology
Military hospital comes from the simple picture of a military group running a hospital close to where soldiers fight, with doctors working in tents or buildings so wounded men get quick help. That's why it means a hospital run by the armed forces to give 'medical care' to 'soldiers'.
