Morphology

founding + anniversary

The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'founding' (the establishment) + 'anniversary' (annual celebration), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes the celebration of an establishment. This noun–noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically (e.g. aniversario de fundación) and follows regular English compounding, making it transparent to B1 learners.

Etymology

Founding anniversary is like a birthday for an organisation. Founding means 'starting' and anniversary means the 'yearly day' to remember it, so the phrase marks the day the organisation began and is celebrated.
