Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'Qing' names a specific ruling house and 'dynasty' means a succession of rulers, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to the dynasty called Qing. This [name + dynasty] pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish/French/Chinese equivalents), and there is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift, making it transparent to learners who know the parts.
Etymology
The Qing dynasty takes its name from the Chinese word Qing, which means 'clear' or 'pure' and was chosen by the new rulers as a strong, respectful name. That's why Qing dynasty refers to the last imperial rulers of China, who ruled from 1644 to 1912.
