Morphology

blueberry = blue + berry (transparent) = blue + berry

A clear compound: a berry that is blue; learners can derive the meaning from 'blue' + 'berry'.

Etymology

Blueberry is simply blue + berry, with blue meaning 'the color blue' and berry meaning 'small fruit'. So a blueberry is literally a small fruit that is blue, which is why the word names the sweet dark-blue berry you eat.
