Morphology
caviuna + wood
The noun phrase follows a transparent modifier + wood composition, so a learner who knows both constituents would at least infer it means the wood from a caviuna tree (i.e., a type of wood). However, 'caviuna' is a specialized, dictionary-absent species name carrying specific properties (heavy, hard, dark) that are not predictable from its form, so the full, detailed meaning is not fully derivable by a B1 learner.
Etymology
Caviuna wood may come from a Brazilian name for a strong local tree whose heartwood makes heavy, dark boards with black streaks. Craftsmen used these long-lasting, streaked boards for fine furniture, so today caviuna wood means that particular hard, dark timber.
