Morphology

atomic + number + sixty-seven

The phrase is compositionally clear: a learner who knows 'atomic', 'number', and 'sixty-seven' can infer it denotes the atomic identifier 67 (i.e., the number associated with an atom). However, identifying that this specific identifier corresponds to the element holmium requires domain-specific knowledge (the periodic table), so the full lexical referent is not predictable from the parts alone.

Etymology

The term atomic number 67 comes from the simple idea that the atomic number is the count of tiny particles called protons inside an atom. So, atomic number 67 means the element with 67 protons, which is 'holmium'.
