Morphology
passion + fruit
This is a transparent noun–noun compound: 'passion' modifies 'fruit' to name a kind of fruit, so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer it refers to a type of fruit rather than an unrelated idiomatic meaning. The composition follows a common cross-linguistic pattern (modifier + head), so the referential meaning is predictable even if details like taste or appearance are not.
Etymology
Passion fruit gets its name from early Christian missionaries who thought the plant's flower looked like parts that reminded them of the 'passion of Christ', the story of Jesus' suffering. That's why the fruit was named for that 'passion' and is still called passion fruit today.
