Andrew + Wyeth
This is a proper name composed of a given name and a surname; knowing the words 'Andrew' and 'Wyeth' only signals a person’s name but gives no information about occupation, nationality, or dates. The specific meaning 'an American painter (1917–2009) known for realistic rural depictions' cannot be derived from the constituents, so learners would need prior exposure or factual knowledge.
Etymology
Andrew Wyeth is an American painter whose name is linked to a quiet, very detailed painting called 'Christina's World'. In that picture a woman lies in a field looking at a distant house, and this simple, still scene is why people remember Wyeth for 'realistic' pictures of 'rural life'.
