Morphology

This simple noun–noun compound refers to gear used for basketball and follows a common compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
Basketball equipment is a simple name made from basketball and equipment: the ball and the gear like hoops, nets, shoes, and jerseys. Think of a gym bag with these things; they help you play and stay safe, so the phrase means 'objects and gear used when playing basketball'.
