Morphology
Anne + Hutchinson
This is a proper name referring to a specific historical person; the constituent tokens 'Anne' and 'Hutchinson' are personal names without descriptive lexical meaning. A B1 learner who knows those names will not be able to derive the biographical information or role (colonist, religious leader, etc.) from the parts, so the expression is not compositionally transparent.
Etymology
Anne Hutchinson was a woman in early America who held meetings in her home to talk about religion and openly criticized the colony's church leaders, which led to her trial and being banished. So, because she bravely spoke her ideas and stood up against authority, her name is often linked to 'speaking your beliefs' and 'religious freedom'.
