Morphology

sauce + Albert

The element 'sauce' clearly signals that the phrase names a type of condiment, so a learner would infer it is some kind of sauce; however, 'Albert' is an eponymic proper name with no literal semantic contribution. The specific composition (creamy white sauce with horseradish and mustard) cannot be derived from the constituents, giving partial but not full predictability.

Etymology

Sauce Albert may come from a simple story: the sauce was named for a man called Albert who loved a creamy, sharp sauce for roast meat. So today sauce Albert means a creamy white sauce with horseradish and mustard used with meat.
