Morphology

republic + of + Albania

The meaning 'a country named Albania governed as a republic' is directly derivable from the constituents: 'republic' (form of government) + 'of' (genitive/relationship) + 'Albania' (the country name). This naming pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Republic of France) and follows regular compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the words will understand the MWE.

Etymology

Republic of Albania starts with Albania, an old place name that may come from an early local people or a word for 'mountain'. Republic means a country whose leaders are 'chosen by the people', so the name means the country of Albania with a government chosen by its people.
