Morphology

honeypot = honey + pot (semi-transparent) = honey + pot

The name is a compound of 'honey' + 'pot' referring to nectar-filled, pot-like flowers, but the leap to a specific shrub species is specialized and not fully predictable for learners.

Etymology

Honeypot comes from the simple picture of honey and pot, literally a 'pot of honey'. People named the South African shrub honeypot because its cup-shaped flowers hold sweet nectar like little pots of honey, so the name matches what the plant does.
