Morphology
kidney + bean
The meaning 'a large, kidney-shaped bean' is directly derivable from combining 'kidney' (the organ or its shape) with 'bean' (an edible seed), following the common noun-compound pattern that denotes type or shape. This compositional, cross-linguistically frequent pattern makes the term immediately predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Kidney bean is named for the shape of the seed. The small red bean is curved and looks like a human kidney, so people put the words together and now kidney bean means the 'food' we eat and the 'plant' that grows it.
