Morphology
Jean-Martin + Charcot
This item is a personal name (proper noun) composed of two name elements that carry no compositional semantic content; knowing the constituent strings 'Jean‑Martin' and 'Charcot' does not enable a learner to infer the biographical information that he was a French neurologist (1825–1893). Proper names function as language-specific labels rather than regular compositional phrases, so the meaning here is not derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Jean-Martin Charcot comes from a famous French doctor in the 1800s who studied the brain and nerves. He used hypnotism and public demonstrations to treat patients with 'hysteria', and because of his teaching and work his name is linked to the start of 'modern neurology'.
