Morphology

seaside + daisy

The compound is a simple adjective-noun composition: 'seaside' (by the sea) + 'daisy' (a daisy-like flower), so the meaning—a daisy that grows on or near the coast—is directly inferable from the parts. This descriptive, compositional pattern is common in English (and other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Seaside daisy is a simple name for a small daisy that grows on the seaside. The picture of a daisy right 'by the sea' makes it easy to remember that this tough plant can grow in salty, sandy places.
