Morphology
eleuthera + bark
The phrase is a simple noun+noun composition meaning 'the bark of eleuthera' (i.e., the bark from the plant/place called Eleuthera), so a learner who knows the constituent meanings would infer it refers to that plant's bark. Specific properties like its aromatic or tonic uses are lexical extras that require exposure, but the basic referential meaning is compositionally transparent and common cross-linguistically.
Etymology
Eleuthera bark may come from the island of Eleuthera, where people gathered the shrub's strong-smelling bark. People used that bark to make a 'tonic' and to burn as 'incense', so the name now means the strong-smelling bark used for healing and ceremonies.
