Morphology
The meaning of 'true equality' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'true' (genuine) with 'equality' (equal rights/opportunities); the adjective simply reinforces the noun to mean genuine or complete equality. This adjective+noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the phrase meaning.
Etymology
True equality puts together true (real, not fake) and equality (having the same rights or chances). Think of a level playing field where nobody has a hidden advantage — that's why it means 'complete and genuine fairness'.
