Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'jointing' (the process of making board edges straight for joining) + 'plane' (a handheld woodworking tool), so it denotes a plane used for jointing. This is a straightforward noun-noun compositional label describing the tool's function, a pattern that is readily interpretable by learners who know both words.
Etymology
Jointing plane The name jointing plane comes from what the tool does. The long, flat plane smooths and straightens the edges of boards, and jointing means making a tight 'joint' so the pieces 'fit together', so the name literally describes the tool's job.
