Morphology

Trondheim + fjord

The meaning 'a long, narrow inlet associated with Trondheim' is directly and transparently derivable from the constituents: 'Trondheim' (a city) + 'fjord' (a long sea inlet). As a straightforward place-name combining a toponym with a geographic noun — a cross-linguistically common naming pattern — a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.

Etymology

Trondheim Fjord points to the long, narrow sea area by the town Trondheim. A fjord is a deep, narrow 'sea inlet' cut by huge rivers of ice long ago, so the name simply means the sea inlet beside Trondheim and explains its shape and location.
