Morphology

Jengish + Chokusu

Jengish Chokusu is a proper name (a toponym) composed of non‑English elements that are not listed in the input dictionary, so an English B1 learner who knows the constituent English words would not be able to derive its meaning. Even if the parts historically mean something like "victory" + "peak" in Kyrgyz/Turkic, the form functions as a name rather than a compositional phrase and is therefore not transparently interpretable by typical learners.

Etymology

Jengish Chokusu is named from local words: Jengish means 'victory' and Chokusu means 'peak' or 'top'. The image of a peak called 'victory' fits because it is the highest point in the Tien Shan, so the name shows its great height.
