Morphology

one + hundred + seventy-five

The meaning is completely compositional: a learner who knows 'one', 'hundred', and 'seventy-five' can combine them to calculate 1×100 + 75 = 175. This follows regular, cross‑linguistically familiar numeric composition rules in English, so no prior exposure is required.

Etymology

One hundred seventy-five is made from one hundred and seventy-five, so it literally means '175'.
