Morphology
Cytisus + multiflorus
The binomial combines a genus name for a broom shrub (Cytisus) with a Latin epithet that literally means “many‑flowered” (multi‑ = many, florus/‑flor = flower). The meaning is partially transparent to learners familiar with Latin/Latin-derived roots or botanical naming, but an average B1 learner who only knows common English vocabulary is unlikely to parse the Latin epithet reliably. Because some recognition is possible but not guaranteed, this is best classified as semi-transparent.
Etymology
Cytisus multiflorus is a Latin plant name that paints a simple picture: Cytisus is a name for a broom-like shrub and multiflorus literally means 'many flowers'. That's why the name fits this low shrub that is covered in many pale flowers.
