Morphology

Denali + national + park

The phrase combines a known place name 'Denali' with the descriptive nouns 'national' and 'park', so its meaning — a government-run protected park associated with Denali — is directly derivable from the parts. This place-name composition is a common, cross-linguistic naming pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily understand it.

Etymology

The name Denali National Park comes from the giant mountain there, Denali. The word Denali is from a local Native Alaskan language and means 'the high one', so the name tells you the park is about a very tall peak and wide, wild land.
