Morphology

pinewood = pine + wood (semi-transparent) = pine + wood

Formed from 'pine' + 'wood' and clearly evokes an area with pine trees, but as a proper name its referent is conventional rather than a descriptive noun.

Etymology

Pinewood combines pine ('a type of tree') and wood ('a small forest'), so it works well as a place name for towns, schools, or neighbourhoods near pine trees and green areas.
