Morphology
floriferous = flori + fer + ous
The word is a learned classical formation meaning roughly 'flower-bearing', so the sense is directly compositional even though the parts are bound forms.
Etymology
Floriferous comes from Latin parts flor- meaning 'flower' and -ferous meaning 'bearing', like coniferous which means 'cone-bearing'. So, a floriferous plant is one that 'bears' or produces many flowers.
