Morphology

kokoi + venom

This is a straightforward noun–noun construction where 'venom' denotes a toxic secretion and 'kokoi' functions as the source/name (a frog). The meaning 'venom produced by the kokoi (frog)' is compositional and follows common patterns like 'snake venom' or 'bee venom', so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it.

Etymology

Kokoi venom gets its name from a frog called kokoi and the word venom, which is 'poison'. The frog's skin makes a very strong poison that attacks the nerves, so 'kokoi venom' means the dangerous skin toxin of that frog.
