Morphology
If a learner knows 'revival' (religious renewal service) and 'meeting' (a gathering), the compound meaning 'a meeting held to revive religious faith' is directly compositional and predictable. The noun+noun combination follows a common pattern and is semantically transparent despite being a domain-specific (religious) term.
Etymology
Revival meeting comes from revival, which means 'to bring back to life', and meeting, a gathering; these were events where loud singing and strong preaching tried to bring people's faith back to life. That's why revival meeting means 'a religious meeting to renew belief'.
