Morphology
appellation = appell + ation
Although historically compositional, the components are not transparent to most learners and the specialized legal/geographical sense is not derivable from the root alone.
Etymology
Appellation comes from the Latin appellare 'to call', and in wine it grew to mean the special name for the place where the grapes are grown. So a wine appellation is like a protected 'label' that tells you the region of origin.
