Morphology

Anwar + Sadat

Anwar Sadat is a proper name referring to a specific individual; the referential identity and biographical meaning (Egyptian president, Nobel laureate) cannot be compositionally derived from the surface words. Proper nouns are arbitrary labels rather than compositional phrases, so knowing the constituent forms does not let a B1 learner infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Anwar Sadat was the Egyptian president who surprised many by visiting Israel and signing a peace treaty. He won the 'Nobel Peace Prize' for this, so people often remember him for 'peace' between countries.
