Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'gas' names the substance and 'system' denotes a network or facility, so a learner who knows both words can infer 'a network/facility for gas supply.' This noun-noun combination follows ordinary compounding patterns found across languages, making the phrase immediately understandable rather than idiomatic.
Etymology
Gas system names the connected pipes, valves, meters and machines that move gas into homes and buildings. Because it is literally a system for 'supplying' fuel, the phrase means the network or place that brings natural gas to houses and businesses.
