Morphology

Syrian + Arab + republic

The phrase is directly compositional: 'Syrian' marks nationality, 'Arab' specifies regional/ethnic identity, and 'republic' names a form of government, so a learner who knows those words can infer it refers to Syria's official state name. This pattern (demonym + ethnonym + state type) is cross-linguistically common, making the meaning predictable for a B1 learner.

Etymology

Syrian Arab Republic is the formal name for the country most people call 'Syria'. The name joins Syrian, Arab, and Republic to show it is the country's full official name used in government and international talks.
