Morphology
The noun phrase's meaning is directly built from 'advisory' (offering advice or recommendations) plus 'service' (assistance provided), so the combined sense of a service that gives advice is predictable. This is a common compositional pattern in English (and parallels exist in many other languages), making it immediately interpretable by learners who know the constituent words.
Etymology
Advisory service comes from the simple image of an expert at a desk who gives 'advice', the advisory, and offers 'help', the service. So, advisory service means 'professional advice and help' to guide someone's decisions.
