Morphology
saint + Paul
The phrase is compositionally the title 'Saint' (a holy person) plus the proper name 'Paul', so a learner who knows both constituents will understand it denotes a holy person named Paul. Detailed historical information (apostle, missionary, Epistles) requires background knowledge but does not undermine the straightforward compositional interpretation.
Etymology
Saint Paul was originally called 'Saul'; after a sudden vision he changed his life, became a follower of Jesus, travelled widely and wrote letters to early Christian communities, so he is remembered as a saint.
