Morphology

honeymoon + resort

The meaning 'a resort that caters to newlyweds' is directly and transparently built from 'honeymoon' (a vacation for newly married couples) + 'resort' (a hotel/complex for recreation). This straightforward noun‑noun composition follows common cross‑linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Honeymoon resort comes from the words honeymoon and resort. One popular story says that after a wedding couples would drink honey wine for a month, so the first month was 'sweet' like honey. So a honeymoon resort is a place made for 'newlyweds' to enjoy that sweet, romantic time.
