Morphology

proper + training

The meaning 'instruction appropriate or sufficient for a task' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'proper' (suitable/correct) with 'training' (organized learning). This simple adjective + noun composition follows regular English semantics and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Proper training comes from the simple idea that proper means 'right for the job' and training means teaching or practice, like giving someone the exact lessons they need to do the work safely. That's why it means instruction that is correct and enough for a task.
