Surface Forms
Morphology
The headword is a straightforward noun phrase composed of 'Unitarian' (relating to Unitarianism) + 'church' (a Christian body), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it denotes the church or denomination of Unitarians. Detailed doctrinal features (e.g., rejection of the Trinity) require specific background knowledge of Unitarianism, but the basic denotation as a denominational church is directly derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Unitarian Church comes from Unitarian, which means 'one', and Church, which means a Christian group. Early members believed in 'one God' rather than the 'Trinity', so the name shows this group's main belief.
