Morphology

Chrysanthemum + coronarium

This is a Latin binomial (scientific) name: while 'Chrysanthemum' signals a type of flower, the species epithet 'coronarium' is a Latin/technical element not defined for learners here and does not transparently yield the full description. Scientific names are lexicalized taxonomy rather than compositional English phrases, so a B1 learner knowing the parts would not reliably infer the precise meaning.

Etymology

Chrysanthemum coronarium comes from old Greek and Latin words: Chrysanthemum means 'gold flower' and coronarium means 'for a crown' or 'garland', because people used the bright flowers to make crowns and decorations. That's why the name fits this yellow, daisy-like plant often used in garlands today.
