Morphology

national + committee

The phrase's meaning is directly derivable from 'national' (country-level) modifying 'committee' (a group formed to address matters): it denotes a committee operating at the national level. This compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.

Etymology

National committee comes from the idea of a small group, a committee, chosen to act for the whole country, national. They meet to make big plans and run national events, so the name means 'the party's main decision group'.
