guest bedroom singular

Morphology

guest + bedroom

The meaning 'a bedroom intended for visitors' is directly and transparently composed from 'guest' (visitor) + 'bedroom' (a room for sleeping). This is a regular noun–noun compound following common English and cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Guest bedroom is a name for a bedroom kept for guests. Imagine a spare room with a made bed and fresh towels ready for 'visitors' to 'stay over', so it means a bedroom for people who come to stay.
