Morphology
The parts 'romantic' (relating to emotion/romance or Romanticism) and 'movement' (a trend or collective) give a clear hint that this refers to an artistic/literary trend, so the phrase is partly analyzable. However, the specific historical scope and the precise cultural emphasis (late 18th–19th century artistic Romanticism) are not fully predictable from the words alone and 'romantic' can be misconstrued as 'about love', so learners without prior exposure may not grasp the full meaning.
Etymology
Romantic Movement gets its name from the older word romantic, which meant wild stories and strong feeling. Many writers and artists left strict rules and went into wild nature to feel and imagine, so the movement's name now means art that values emotion, imagination and nature more than logic.
