This item is a full personal name referring to a specific historical figure, and its biographical meaning (an American modernist poet and critic) is not derivable from the constituent name parts. Personal names are arbitrary labels across languages, so knowing the parts 'Ezra', 'Loomis', and 'Pound' does not allow a B1 learner to infer the occupational or historical information, making it non-compositional.

Etymology
