Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from the place-name 'Weimar' and the noun 'republic', so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the republic associated with Weimar (i.e., a particular German state). Although the full historical dates and political details (1919–1933) are encyclopedic, the basic referential meaning is transparently derivable and follows common cross-linguistic patterns for naming states.
Etymology
Weimar Republic: The name Weimar Republic comes from the town of Weimar, where leaders met after World War I to write new rules for the country. Because the government began there, the whole German state from 1919 to 1933 came to be called the 'Weimar Republic'.
