Morphology
Woodrow + Wilson
This is a proper name referring to a specific historical person; knowing the constituent tokens (which are personal names rather than compositional lexical items) does not allow a B1 learner to infer that it denotes the 28th U.S. President or his historical role. Proper names are non‑compositional and language/culture‑specific, so the referent and associated facts must be learned directly rather than derived from the parts.
Etymology
Woodrow Wilson was the American president who led the United States during World War I. He is famous for the peace plan called the 'Fourteen Points' and for trying to start the 'League of Nations', so picture him holding a paper of 14 points asking countries to stop fighting to remember him.
