Morphology

organization + expense

The phrase is largely compositionally predictable: a B1 learner who knows 'organization' and 'expense' will understand it denotes a cost connected to an organization or to the act of organizing. However, the specific technical/accounting sense ('costs of legally forming a new corporation over a defined period') is narrower and domain-specific, so the precise meaning is not fully derivable without exposure.

Etymology

The noun organization expense comes from the idea of paying to 'organize' a new company: imagine people filling out forms, paying fees and holding meetings to put the business together. So, organization and expense mean the money spent to legally 'start' a company.
