Morphology
The phrase 'social gathering' is directly and transparently built from 'social' (relating to society or communal interaction) + 'gathering' (a group assembled), so its meaning 'an event where people assemble to interact' is immediately inferable by a B1 learner who knows the parts. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows straightforward noun phrase formation, making it easily understood without prior exposure.
Etymology
Social gathering comes from the simple image of people gathering together to be social, meaning they talk and enjoy each other's company. That's why it now means 'an event where people meet to talk and spend time together'.
