Morphology
Budapest = Buda + Pest (semi-transparent) = Buda + Pest
Formed by compounding two place-names 'Buda' and 'Pest'; the components are names but the specific status as Hungary's capital is a historical fact not derivable by general morphological rules.
Etymology
Budapest comes from the names of two towns, Buda and Pest, on opposite sides of the Danube River. It is like two towns joined into one city, which is why Buda is the hilly side and Pest is the flat, busy side.
