Morphology

nuttery = nut (transparent) = nut + ery

Formed by the productive suffix '-ery' meaning a place or collection related to 'nut', so the meaning 'place where nuts are grown/processed' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Nuttery comes from nut and the place ending -ery, like in bakery, so it originally meant a 'place' where nut trees are grown or where nuts are processed.
