Morphology
Tripleurospermum + inodorum
This is a Latin binomial (taxonomic) name rather than a compositional English phrase; its parts are not ordinary English vocabulary and the second element is undefined in the provided dictionary entry. The specific sense ('scentless mayweed') is a specialized label that cannot be predicted from the constituents by an average B1 learner, so the name functions as an arbitrary label rather than a transparent compound.
Etymology
Tripleurospermum inodorum is a name that points to how the plant looks and smells. The last part, inodorum, means 'without smell', so this small white, daisy-like weed looks like chamomile but is 'scentless', which makes the name an easy memory hook.
