Morphology

fenoprofen + calcium

The phrase is a drug name combined with the word 'calcium', which signals the calcium salt or formulation of fenoprofen; a learner who knows fenoprofen is a medication and calcium is a mineral would reasonably infer this refers to the drug in a calcium form. This compositional naming pattern for pharmaceuticals is common and predictable, so the overall meaning is derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

Fenoprofen calcium gives a simple hint about the medicine: fenoprofen links it to other -profen pain medicines such as ibuprofen, and calcium shows it is the 'calcium form' of the drug. So the name helps you remember it is a 'pain reliever' used for joint pain and inflammation.
