Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from the constituents: 'government' (the state apparatus) + 'agency' (an organization providing services), so a B1 learner who knows both words can compose the sense of an organization belonging to or run by the government. This is a regular, productive noun–noun compound pattern found across languages and in everyday usage, making it immediately comprehensible to learners.
Etymology
The phrase government agency comes from the idea of agency as the 'power to act' for someone. So, the government gives an agency a specific job, and a government agency is the official group that does that job.
