Morphology
The phrase is transparently built from a place name plus the noun 'state': 'New York' identifies the region and 'state' signals a political entity, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it refers to the state named New York. This naming pattern (place-name + state) is cross-linguistically common and follows straightforward compositional rules, making the meaning predictable.
Etymology
New York State got its name from New York, which the English named after the old city of York in England and the Duke of York who was in charge of the area. When the colony kept that name and later became a U.S. 'state', the same name stayed, so today New York State means the U.S. state in the northeast.
