Morphology

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

The botanical sense names the shrubs by the fruit they produce; the compound is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Blueberry also names the plant that makes those fruits and comes from the same parts blue and berry, because the shrub produces blue berries. So a blueberry plant is a 'bush' that gives the small blue fruits we pick and eat.
