Morphology
The meaning 'a business organization that is very big' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'large' (big, extensive) with 'corporation' (a business/legal entity). This adjective + noun pattern is a basic, cross-linguistically common compositional construction, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun large corporation combines large and corporation, where corporation comes from the idea of a group acting as one 'body'. So imagine many people joined into one very big body that can work across cities and countries, and that is why it means a very big company with a lot of power.
