Krebs + cycle
This is an eponymous technical term named after scientist Hans Krebs; knowing 'Krebs' as a name gives no information about biochemical processes. Although 'cycle' suggests a repeated sequence, that alone does not allow a B1 learner to infer the specific citric-acid series of cellular reactions, so the meaning is not derivable from the parts.
Etymology
The noun Krebs cycle is named after the scientist Krebs, who showed that a series of chemical steps in a cell goes round and comes back to the start like a 'cycle'. So, Krebs cycle means the repeating series of reactions inside cells that helps make energy.
