Morphology

Euronext + Paris

This is a named entity where 'Euronext' is a corporate/proper name (not analyzable from common lexical meanings) and 'Paris' only supplies a location. A B1 learner who knows the words would not reliably infer that the term refers specifically to the principal stock exchange in Paris without prior exposure to the proper name or financial-domain knowledge.

Etymology

Euronext Paris gets its name from the wider group Euronext, which mixes the parts Euro, meaning Europe, and next to show a new, joined market. So, Euronext Paris is the Paris branch of that Europe-wide market, where people 'buy and sell' shares of French companies.
