Morphology

landrover = land + rover (semi-transparent) = land + rover

The components 'land' and 'rover' are clear, but the headword functions as a trademark/proper name for a specific type of vehicle, so the precise meaning (a four-wheel-drive vehicle brand) is specialized and not fully predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Landrover comes from two simple words, land ('ground') and rover ('a person who roams'). It began as a brand name by the Rover company and means a sturdy vehicle made to travel across rough or open ground.
