Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'political' (relating to politics) modifies 'movement' (a collective pursuing shared goals), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer a group organized around political aims. This modifier–noun pattern is regular and common across languages, making the expression immediately transparent to learners.
Etymology
Political movement comes from the image of people literally moving together in marches or rallies to push for change. The word movement shows this group motion, so a political movement means many people working together to reach a 'political goal'.
