Morphology

element + 105

The phrase 'element 105' is directly compositional: combining 'element' with the numeral '105' denotes the chemical element having atomic number 105, so a B1 learner who knows 'element' and numbers can infer it refers to that specific element (even if they do not know the proper name 'dubnium'). Numbered element labels are a standard, cross-linguistic scientific convention, making the meaning derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

The name element 105 was a simple label scientists used for a newly made element, showing its place as number 105 in the list of elements. So, element 105 means the man-made element that was later given the official name 'dubnium'.
