Morphology

removal + company

The meaning is directly compositional: 'removal' (the action of taking things away) + 'company' (an organization) yields a firm that removes or moves possessions. This straightforward noun-noun composition is cross-linguistically common (e.g. 'moving company') and a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended meaning.

Etymology

Removal company comes from the simple idea of removal, because to 'remove' means to take things away. Imagine people carrying furniture out of a house into a van; that's why a removal company means 'a company that moves your things' today.
