Morphology

Rashtriya + Swayamsevak + Sangh

Although the constituent items are Hindi transliterations rather than English lemmas, their literal senses (Rashtriya = national, Swayamsevak = volunteer, Sangh = association/organization) combine in a straightforward, compositional way to mean 'national volunteer organization'. This is a regular, cross-linguistically common noun-noun/compound structure, so a learner who knows the constituents can derive the overall meaning.

Etymology

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh comes from Hindi words: Rashtriya meaning 'national', Swayamsevak meaning 'volunteer', and Sangh meaning 'group'. So the name points to a 'national volunteer group' that brings people together for social service and to support Hindu culture.
