Morphology
Goya + y + Lucientes
This string is a Spanish personal name formed from two family names linked by 'y' (Spanish 'and'), so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it denotes a person rather than a compositional phrase. However, the specific biographical content (that this is the renowned Spanish painter) is not derivable from the parts unless the learner already knows Goya, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Goya y Lucientes is the artist's full last name. In Spanish the 'y' means 'and' and joins the two family names Goya and Lucientes, showing his father's and mother's families. That's why museums and books use the full name to refer to the painter.
