Morphology
Trentino-Alto + Adige
This is a toponym composed of proper names (Trentino and Alto Adige) rather than a compositional English phrase; the input even shows the constituent forms are not dictionary words. A B1 learner who knows the constituent labels in English would not be able to derive the geographic/administrative meaning (a specific Italian region) from the parts, so the meaning is not transparently compositional.
Etymology
Trentino-Alto Adige may come from two place names joined together: Trentino is the area around the city of Trento, and Alto Adige means 'Upper Adige', the higher part of the Adige River in the mountains. So the name tells you this region is around Trento and the upper river valley, which fits its mountain landscape and the Italian and German culture there.
