Morphology
Buckingham + palace
A learner who knows 'palace' will correctly infer that this phrase names a palace called Buckingham, so part of the meaning (that it is a palace) is transparently recoverable. However, 'Buckingham' is an arbitrary proper name and the specific institutional sense (the official London residence and administrative headquarters of the monarch) cannot be derived from the constituents, so the overall expression is only partially predictable.
Etymology
Buckingham Palace gets its name from an old town house called Buckingham House, which belonged to the Duke of Buckingham and stood on the same site. The king later bought it and made it much bigger, so today Buckingham Palace is the British king or queen's 'official home'.
