Surface Forms
Morphology
Goldman + Sachs
This is a proper name composed of two surnames rather than a compositional phrase; knowing 'Goldman' and 'Sachs' (which are not lexical words here) does not indicate that the referent is a large investment bank. Proper names are arbitrary and do not transparently encode the company’s nature, so a B1 learner who only knows the constituents would not be able to derive the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Goldman Sachs is named after its founders: the banker Goldman and his partner Sachs, who put their last names together as the company name. So today Goldman Sachs means 'a large, well-known investment bank'.
