Morphology

haul-away = haul + away (transparent) = haul + away

The compound is directly built from the phrasal verb 'haul away' (haul + away), so learners who know 'haul' and 'away' can infer 'intended to be removed'.

Etymology

Haul-away comes from the words haul ('to pull or carry') and away ('to another place'), so a haul-away item is one meant to be taken away by a removal or disposal service.
