Morphology
The meaning 'support or promotion of war' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'war' (armed conflict) with 'advocacy' (public support), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the phrase. This noun–noun/nominal modifier pattern is cross-linguistically common, reinforcing its predictability for learners.
Etymology
War advocacy comes from the simple image of a leader or speaker standing before a crowd, arguing for war because advocacy means speaking up or arguing for something. So, war advocacy means 'support or promotion of war'.
