Morphology
Cytisus + scoparius
This is a Latin binomial (scientific name) rather than a compositional English phrase; the parts are taxonomic labels and do not combine to form an immediately comprehensible everyday meaning for a B1 learner (and 'scoparius' is not a transparent English word). Understanding that it denotes the broom shrub requires specific botanical knowledge or a glossary entry rather than deduction from constituent meanings.
Etymology
Cytisus scoparius got its name because people used its long, stiff branches to make brooms. The second name scoparius comes from an old word for 'broom', so the plant became known as 'broom' from that simple use.
