Morphology
bun + rounder
The compound is directly compositional: 'bun' names the object and 'rounder' is an agentive/nominalized form of 'round' (one that makes things round). A B1 learner who knows these constituents can infer it is a device that shapes/rounds buns; although it's a specialized bakery term, the meaning follows ordinary English word-formation and is thus immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
The noun bun rounder comes from what the rounder does. It makes buns round by rolling and shaping dough into even balls, so the name means 'a machine that divides dough and shapes it into even buns'.
