Morphology

Rubus + loganobaccus

This is a Latin taxonomic binomial (a proper scientific name) rather than a compositional English phrase; the second element 'loganobaccus' is not an English lexical item and carries no transparent meaning for a B1 learner. Because the form functions as a label for a species and the constituents do not yield the ordinary English meaning, the overall expression is not derivable from its parts and is opaque to typical learners.

Etymology

Rubus loganobaccus comes from a gardener named Logan who first grew the loganberry, a red fruit made by crossing a raspberry and a blackberry. Rubus means 'bramble' and the rest mixes Logan with the idea of a 'berry', so the name helps you remember it is a bramble that produces the loganberry.
