In order for them to?

Dear Forum Users,

I am writing an essay and I want to say that we do not need to know that, for instance, 'This surgeon is a butcher' is a metaphor (or whatever), we understand the meaning.

Can I say:

"These figures of speech need not be named in order for them to operate in meaning construction"?

Thank you.

Thank you M.M. Is 'in order for them to' technically possible in the OP?

I only correct what needs correction, Palinkasocsi. If I have left it unmarked, then it is OK.
