Surface Forms
Morphology
South + Yorkshire
The meaning is directly compositional: 'South' (direction/part) + 'Yorkshire' (place) yields the southern region or administrative area of Yorkshire. This place-naming pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows transparent geographic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
South Yorkshire simply means the South or 'southern part' of Yorkshire, the larger old area around the city of York. It was created as a 'county' in 1974 to cover cities such as Sheffield and Rotherham, so the name tells you where it is and that it is an official area.
