Morphology
Jean-Auguste-Dominique + Ingres
This is a personal name composed of proper-name parts that carry no lexical information about profession or attributes; knowing the constituent name elements does not allow a learner to infer that it refers to a French classical painter. The parts are not dictionary words and proper names are arbitrary labels cross-linguistically, so the meaning cannot be derived from the components.
Etymology
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was a famous French painter in the 1800s known for very smooth, careful lines and graceful portraits. Because his work looks so clean and exact, people often use his name when they talk about 'perfect drawing' and classic portrait style.
