Morphology
MB = M + B
This is an initialism whose letters ('M' and 'B') do not convey the meaning; learners must know the specific expansion ('Bachelor of Medicine') rather than derive it from the components.
Etymology
MB stands for the Latin words Medicinae Baccalaureus, which mean 'Bachelor of Medicine'. So, when someone has an MB they have a university degree that qualifies them to practice medicine.
