Morphology
Fayetteville = Fayette (semi-transparent) = Fayette + ville
The suffix '-ville' clearly signals a town, but the 'Fayette' element is an arbitrary commemorative name that does not convey descriptive meaning to most learners.
Etymology
Fayetteville is named after the French hero Lafayette, and the ending -ville comes from French and means 'town'. So Fayetteville means 'Lafayette's town', which explains why it is the name of a city in North Carolina.
