Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'civic' (relating to city or community affairs) with 'leader' (a person who leads or influences), so together they denote someone who leads in municipal or public matters. This is a regular noun + adjective composition common across languages and predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase civic leader comes from the idea of a leader for the civic community. Civic means connected to the 'city' or its 'citizens', so a civic leader is someone who guides and helps the public life of a town.
