Morphology

seceder + group

The phrase is simply a noun phrase combining 'seceder' (someone who departs) with 'group' to mean a group composed of seceders; there is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift. This follows a regular noun + noun composition pattern that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Seceder group comes from the idea of a small part leaving the larger group, a picture of a seceder stepping away from the rest of the group. Imagine people walking out to form their own circle; that's why the term means people who want to 'leave' a larger organization or seek 'independence'.
