Morphology

Easter + party

The meaning 'a social gathering during the Easter holiday' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'Easter' (the holiday) with 'party' (a celebration). This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common naming pattern for holiday-based gatherings, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.

Etymology

The noun Easter party comes from the Christian holiday Easter, when families end the fasting of Lent, decorate eggs and celebrate new life. So, an Easter party is 'a celebration held during Easter', often with games and treats.
