Morphology

one + hundred + ninety

The phrase is fully compositional: a B1 learner who knows 'one', 'hundred', and 'ninety' can compute 1×100 + 90 = 190, so the meaning is directly derivable from the constituents. Numeric formation of hundreds plus tens is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern (the optional 'and' in some dialects does not affect predictability), making this expression transparent.

Etymology

One hundred ninety is a straightforward name that tells you how to make the number: one hundred equals 100 and ninety equals 90. So it simply means 'the number 190'.
