Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'professional' (relating to a profession) + 'organization' (a collective body): it denotes an organization of professionals. This noun phrase follows a common, cross-linguistic modifier + head pattern with no idiomatic or metaphorical shift, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand it.
Etymology
Professional organization comes from the simple idea of professional people, people with the same job, forming an organization or group. These groups met to set rules, share knowledge and help each other, so the phrase means 'an organization of people in the same profession' that supports members and sets standards.
