Morphology

Charles + Edouard + Jeanneret

This string is a proper name composed of individual personal names; knowing the constituent name-words does not let a learner infer that it refers to Le Corbusier or that the person is a famous architect. Proper names are referential and rely on encyclopedic/cultural knowledge rather than compositional semantics, so the meaning is not derivable from the parts.

Etymology

Charles Edouard Jeanneret is the birth name of the famous architect better known as 'Le Corbusier'. He chose a shorter, stronger artist name, so remembering his long full name helps you see that it refers to the same person, the well-known architect and city planner.
