Morphology

Ulugh + Muz + Tagh

The item is a foreign toponym made of non‑English morphemes with no dictionary definitions provided, so an average B1 learner who only knows the listed constituents would not be able to infer the meaning 'a mountain peak'. Proper names and place‑name compounds from other languages are effectively opaque to learners unless they know the source‑language elements, so the expression is not transparently compositional for typical English learners.

Etymology

The name Ulugh Muz Tagh comes from old Turkic words: ulugh 'great', muz 'ice', and tagh 'mountain'. So the name paints a picture of a 'great ice mountain', which fits its very high, icy peak.
