Morphology
multiple-furrow + plow
The phrase is a straightforward compositional compound: 'multiple' (many) + 'furrow' (a trench in soil) + 'plow' (farm implement). A learner who knows these constituents can directly infer it refers to a plow that creates/turns over several furrows at once, so the meaning is transparently derived from its parts.
Etymology
Multiple-furrow plow comes from the simple picture of a plow with several furrows, a machine with two or more blades that makes many long, narrow lines in the soil at once. Because it 'turns over' several furrows together, the name tells you it is a plow that prepares more land faster.
