Morphology

November + 2

A learner who knows 'November' and '2' will transparently understand this as the second day of November (a calendar date). However, the specific cultural/religious meaning 'All Souls' Day' is not derivable from the constituents and requires extra cultural knowledge, so the item is only partially predictable.

Etymology

November 2 is called All Souls' Day and comes from an old Christian custom where people visit graves and light candles for those who have died. That's why the day means 'prayer and remembrance' for the dead.
