Morphology
Lyme + disease
The element 'Lyme' is a proper name/toponym with no lexical meaning indicating cause or transmission, while 'disease' only signals that it is an illness. A B1 learner who knows the parts will infer it is a kind of disease but will not be able to derive the specific notion of a tick‑transmitted bacterial infection without prior exposure.
Etymology
Lyme disease is named after the small town of Old Lyme, Connecticut, where doctors in the 1970s noticed many people with the same health problem. Because the illness was first seen there, the name stuck, and today Lyme disease means a 'bacterial infection' from 'tick bites' that can cause a rash, fever, and sore joints.
