Surface Forms
Morphology
Crucifixion + of + Jesus
The phrase is fully compositional: 'crucifixion' (death by being nailed to a cross) combined with the proper name 'Jesus' yields the obvious meaning the execution of Jesus by crucifixion. The preposition 'of' simply links the event to its target, and this literal pattern is common across languages, so a learner who knows the constituents would immediately understand it.
Etymology
Crucifixion of Jesus names the event when Jesus was nailed to a wooden cross by Roman soldiers and left to 'die'. That clear picture of a man on a cross is why the phrase refers to this central event in Christianity today.
