Morphology
Massachusetts + institute + of + technology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'Massachusetts' (place) + 'Institute' (educational/research organization) + 'of Technology' (field of study), so its meaning as an educational/research institution in Massachusetts focused on technology is derivable from the parts. Although it is a proper name, the structure and semantics follow common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand its basic meaning.
Etymology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology got its name because people set up a new 'school' in the state of Massachusetts to teach modern technology and engineering, and Institute means a place for learning. That's why the name tells you it is a famous 'university' for science and technology today.
