Morphology

Umma + Tameer-e-Nau

This is a proper-name in a non-English form where one constituent ('Tameer-e-Nau') is not lexically transparent; knowing 'Umma' alone does not lead a B1 learner to infer that the phrase names a Pakistani NGO or that it is alleged to support terrorism. Proper names and specific allegations about an organization are not predictable from the literal meanings of the parts, so the overall sense is not derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

Umma Tameer-e-Nau comes from Urdu words: Umma meaning 'community' and Tameer-e-Nau meaning 'new building' or 'new development'. So the name paints the picture of 'rebuilding the community' and suggests an organisation focused on renewing or rebuilding society.
