Morphology
brompheniramine + maleate
The construction 'brompheniramine maleate' is compositionally regular: the particle 'maleate' marks the maleic-acid salt form of the preceding chemical name, so a learner who knew both constituents could infer it is a chemical or drug form of brompheniramine. However, 'brompheniramine' is a technical drug name (not defined here) and the specific pharmacological meaning 'antihistamine for allergies' cannot be deduced from the parts alone, so full understanding requires specialized knowledge.
Etymology
Brompheniramine maleate is a name made of parts: brom shows it has bromine, pheniramine is the active part that fights allergies, and maleate means it is put into a form that is easy to make into tablets. So the name tells you this is an 'allergy medicine' used to 'relieve allergy symptoms'.
