Morphology

Warcraft = war + craft (semi-transparent) = war + craft

The morphemes are transparent, but the film title is a proper-name use tied to a specific media product, so the specialized referent is not predictable from the parts alone.

Etymology

Warcraft uses the same parts: war 'fighting' and craft 'skill' or 'making', so the film's title promises the same crafted world of big battles that comes from the games.
