Morphology
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'atomic' (pertaining to atoms) + 'number' + the numeral '114' clearly indicate the identifying number of an element, so a learner who knows the constituent words and numerals can infer it refers to the element with that atomic number. This scientific naming convention is regular and similar across languages, making the meaning predictable even if the specific element name 'flerovium' is unknown.
Etymology
Atomic number 114 names the element 'flerovium', which was first made in a lab and named after the Flerov laboratory. The phrase 'atomic number' simply counts an atom's 'protons', so atomic number 114 tells you this element has 114 protons and is that specific element today.
