Morphology
social + liberalism
The phrase is a straightforward modifier + noun composition: 'social' (relating to society) specifies the domain of 'liberalism' (a political ideology), so the meaning ‘a form of liberalism focused on social/economic issues and justice’ is directly inferable from the parts. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would likely understand the basic sense though finer policy nuances require more background knowledge.
Etymology
The phrase social liberalism comes from joining liberalism, which is the idea of personal freedom, and social, which means helping society. So, the phrase means 'support for both individual liberty and government action to help with social and economic needs'.
