Morphology

bread + maker

The meaning 'a machine/device that makes bread' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bread' (the food) with 'maker' (one that makes or produces). This follows a regular noun-noun compounding pattern where the second element denotes an agent or instrument, a pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Bread maker comes from the two words bread and maker, giving a clear picture of someone who makes bread. Long ago, towns relied on a regular bread maker who mixed dough and baked each day, so the phrase means 'a person who bakes bread'.
