Morphology

one-year-old = one + year (transparent) = one + year + old

Formed from the compound 'one-year' plus 'old' to indicate age; the meaning is directly predictable from the components.

Etymology

One-year-old is simply the three words one, year, and old put together to mean someone who has lived 'one' 'year'. That's why we use one-year-old to describe a person or animal's age, for example 'one-year-old daughter'.
