Morphology

element + 110

The phrase is fully compositional: a learner who knows 'element' and the numeral '110' can infer it denotes the chemical element with atomic number 110 (darmstadtium). The 'element + number' naming convention is standard and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner can derive the meaning without prior exposure.

Etymology

Element 110 is simply the chemical element with number 110, and it later received the name 'darmstadtium' after the city of Darmstadt where scientists first made it in a lab. So, calling it element 110 or 'darmstadtium' reminds us that it is a man-made, very short-lived element made with powerful machines.
