Surface Forms
Morphology
Fort + Worth
Fort Worth is a proper name (toponym) whose referent—a city—is not compositionally derived from the ordinary meanings of 'fort' (a fortress) and 'worth' (value). A B1 learner who knows the constituent words would not be able to infer that this is the name of a city, so the expression is unpredictable and language-specific.
Etymology
Fort Worth comes from a small army Fort that was set up and named for General William J. Worth. When a town grew around that Fort, the name stuck, so the city is still called Fort Worth today.
