Morphology

binder + board

The compound denotes a type of board used for binding books and is directly derivable from 'binder' (relating to binding or items used to bind) + 'board' (a flat piece of material). This clear compositional relation and common noun-noun compound pattern make the meaning accessible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Binder board comes from the person who makes books, the binder, and the firm board that person uses to make covers. So, it means the strong cardboard used to make 'book covers'.
