Morphology
Edvard + Hagerup + Grieg
This string is a proper name (a person’s full name) whose meaning (identity as a Norwegian composer and biographical facts) is referential, not compositionally built from its constituent name tokens. Even if a B1 learner knows the individual name parts, they cannot infer the person’s profession or dates without prior exposure or encyclopedic knowledge, so the expression is not transparent.
Etymology
Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer who loved the simple songs and dances of his country and used them in his music. Because he built his music from these village tunes and the sounds of mountains and the sea, his name now makes people think of 'Norwegian folk music'.
