Morphology

Jacques + Ibert

This is a proper name composed of two personal-name elements; knowing the constituent names (or that 'Jacques' is a French given name) does not allow a learner to infer that the phrase refers to a French composer or his biographical dates. Proper names are referential and arbitrary rather than compositional, so the MWE's meaning is not derivable from its parts.

Etymology

Jacques Ibert is the name of a French 'composer' who wrote many kinds of music, from light, playful pieces to big orchestra works and music for the theatre. That's why the name refers to the composer known for a wide, varied style.
