Morphology
This is a proper name made from two proper nouns; knowing the words 'Franklin' and 'Roosevelt' only signals a person's name but does not transparently convey the specific referent or biographical information (32nd U.S. President, New Deal). Identifying that historical person requires encyclopedic/world knowledge rather than compositional interpretation, so the meaning is not derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Franklin Roosevelt is the name of the US president called 'FDR' who led the country through the Great Depression and World War II. He introduced the 'New Deal'—a set of programs to help people—so his name is remembered for helping the nation in hard times and for strong wartime leadership.
