Morphology

Aldous + Huxley

This is a proper name; its referential meaning (an English writer born 1894, author of Brave New World) is not compositionally derived from the constituent tokens. Knowing the parts 'Aldous' and 'Huxley' does not allow a B1 learner to infer the person’s identity or profession, so the expression is idiomatic/arbitrary in reference rather than transparently built from word meanings.

Etymology

Aldous Huxley was an English writer who wrote the novel 'Brave New World', which shows a future where science and machines control people's lives. Because of that strong image, his name often suggests warnings about technology and loss of freedom.
