Morphology

Coffea + arabica + var. + typica

This is a fully compositional botanical name: 'Coffea' (coffee genus) + 'arabica' (species) + 'var.' (variety) + 'typica' (varietal epithet) directly indicate a specific variety of Coffea arabica. A B1 learner who knows the constituent terms and the abbreviation 'var.' can infer it refers to a particular coffee variety (even if 'typica' is a proper variety name), so the meaning is transparently derived from the parts.

Etymology

Coffea arabica var. typica comes from the old typica plant, the classic Arabica that farmers spread around the world. People noticed its clear, delicate 'flavor', so coffee made from these beans is now valued as a high-quality specialty coffee.
