Morphology
The meaning 'an academic department specializing in linguistics' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'linguistics' (the study of language) with 'department' (an academic unit). This noun–noun compositional pattern is common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Linguistics department combines linguistics, meaning 'the study of language', and department, meaning 'a part or office' of a university. So, it means the part of a university where people teach and study language.
