Surface Forms

Morphology

lake + Clark + national + park + and + preserve

This is a literal place name formed from transparent constituents (lake + [proper name] + national + park + preserve). A B1 learner who knows 'lake', 'national', 'park' and 'preserve' can readily infer this refers to a nationally designated protected area named 'Lake Clark' even if the proper name 'Clark' is unfamiliar. The compositional naming pattern is common cross-linguistically, so the overall meaning is immediately derivable from the parts.

Etymology

Lake Clark National Park and Preserve takes its name from the big lake in the area, Lake Clark, which was 'named for' an early visitor called 'Clark'. The words National Park and Preserve show the land is set aside to 'protect' the wild nature and the old sites of local Eskimo and Athapaskan people, so the name connects the lake, the place's beauty, and its protected status.
