Morphology

Muggle + Quidditch

The noun is a straightforward compound of 'Muggle' (a non-magical person) + 'Quidditch' (the game), so its meaning — Quidditch played by non-magical people with adapted rules — is directly derivable from the constituents. This follows standard English noun–noun composition and would be clear to a B1 learner who knows both component words.

Etymology

Muggle quidditch comes from fans who turned the magical game into a real sport: muggle means 'non-magical' and quidditch is the flying broom game from the Harry Potter books. Players run with brooms and use new rules so the game is 'played on the ground', so the name explains the non-magical, real-world version of quidditch.
