Morphology
Passover = pass (opaque) = over + pass
The components form the phrasal verb 'pass over', which is a recognisable structure, but the specific use as the name of a religious festival is a historical/ritual sense not deducible from the literal words. [Postprocessing: moved 'over' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Passover comes from the Hebrew word Pesach, which means 'to pass over' and refers to the story of an angel who 'passed over' the homes marked during the Israelites' escape from Egypt. So, like the English verb pass, Passover is a festival that remembers being passed over and set free.
