Surface Forms
Morphology
church + of + Jesus + Christ + of + latter-day + saint
The phrase is a compositional proper name: a B1 learner who knows 'church', 'Jesus Christ', 'latter-day' and 'saint' can reasonably infer this refers to a Christian body associated with Jesus and called the Latter‑Day Saints. The naming follows transparent, cross-linguistic patterns for institutional names (e.g. Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días), so the overall referent is predictable from its parts even if historical details are not.
Etymology
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was named when Joseph Smith started a new church in 1830. The words Latter-Day mean 'in later times', and the full name shows they believe it 'brings back' the original church of Jesus Christ, so the name tells what the church believes.
