Morphology
The meaning 'an organization where people row' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rowing' (the sport) with 'club' (an association). This noun-noun composition follows common English compounding patterns and has clear parallels in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Rowing club gives a simple picture: rowing is moving a boat with oars and a club is a group of people who meet to do something together. These groups started when friends and students practiced racing and exercise in boats, so today rowing club means an organization where people meet to learn, train, and race in the 'sport of rowing'.
