Morphology
Phaseolus + multiflorus
Although 'Phaseolus' is a transparent genus name for beans, 'multiflorus' is a Latin botanical epithet (not attested in the provided dictionary) and is unlikely to be interpretable by an average B1 learner. Botanical Latin binomials are conventionally compositional for specialists but not predictable to general learners, so the species name's meaning cannot be reliably derived from its parts.
Etymology
The name Phaseolus multiflorus comes from Latin words: Phaseolus means 'little bean' and multiflorus means 'many flowers'. So the name simply describes a bean plant that makes many flowers, which fits the runner bean gardeners grow for its bright blossoms.
