Morphology

golden + wonder + millet

The phrase is compositionally interpretable: 'golden' signals a yellow/golden color, 'wonder' conveys remarkable or notable, and 'millet' names the grain, so together they indicate a notable/yellow variety of millet. Even if it functions as a cultivar name, the constituent meanings give a clear, predictable gist that a B1 learner who knows the words would understand.

Etymology

The compound noun golden wonder millet comes from the plant's bright yellow grains and large, drooping seed heads that look like gold. The word golden points to the colour and wonder shows how farmers praised it for growing well in dry fields, so the name now means this special, hardy yellow millet.
