Morphology
MFR = M + F + R
This is an IATA airport code (proper noun); the letters are a code rather than morphemes and do not transparently indicate the place.
Etymology
MFR is the three-letter airport code for Medford in Oregon, and airport codes are short labels made from the city or airport name, so MFR is the easy short name you see on tickets and screens.
