Morphology

golden + larch

The phrase is a simple adjective+noun composition: 'golden' describes the colour of a 'larch', so the phrase denotes a larch tree with golden-yellow foliage. This straightforward compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.

Etymology

Golden larch names a tree whose larch leaves turn bright golden in autumn, so the name simply describes a tree that looks golden before the leaves fall.
