Morphology
The phrase 'social system' is a straightforward adjectival modification where 'social' (relating to society) restricts 'system' (an organized set), so the overall meaning — an organized structure of social relations or institutions — is directly derivable from the constituent words. This adjective+noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English semantics, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Social system comes from the idea that social means people and system means parts working together, like a village where each person has a job. So that simple picture of people in set 'roles' and 'relationships' helps explain why social system means an organized group with set patterns of how people relate to each other.
