Morphology
social + democratic + party
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'social' and 'democratic' both modify 'party', so a learner who knows those words can infer it is a political party that supports social/democratic policies. The construction and concept (a party advocating social-democratic ideas) are common across many languages, although detailed ideological history or nuances would require extra knowledge.
Etymology
Social Democratic Party comes from three simple ideas: Social (helping people and the community), Democratic (rule by the people), and Party (a political group). It began when workers wanted fairer lives and used elections to change things, so the name now shows a group that seeks 'social' change by 'democratic' means.
