Morphology
procuracy = procurator (semi-transparent) = procurator + acy
The formation is regular (procurator + -acy = office/jurisdiction), but both the base and the suffix are Latinate and relatively rare, so an average B1 learner is unlikely to infer the institutional meaning from the components.
Etymology
The word procuracy comes from the Latin procurare, made of pro- meaning 'for' and curare meaning 'to care'. A procurator was a person who 'took care' of business for others, so a procuracy is the office or authority that manages or enforces legal or church matters.
