Morphology

gastropub = gastro + pub (semi-transparent) = gastro + pub

While 'gastro' and 'pub' are clear components, the specific concept of a pub serving high-quality food is a modern fusion not immediately obvious from the parts.

Etymology

The word gastropub combines gastro- ('stomach', seen in gastronomy for 'good food') and pub ('a place to drink'), so a gastropub is a pub where the food is as important as the drinks.
