Morphology

Georges + Enesco

This is a proper name (a person) whose meaning (that he was a Romanian violinist/composer/conductor/teacher) is not derivable from the constituent tokens. Proper names are arbitrary labels that require encyclopedic knowledge rather than compositional word knowledge, so a B1 learner who only knows the parts would not infer the biographical meaning.

Etymology

Georges Enesco was a Romanian violinist, composer and teacher who mixed simple village tunes with big concert music. So Georges Enesco is remembered as 'a great musician' who taught and inspired many students.
