Morphology

stemless + daisy

The noun phrase is a straightforward composition of 'stemless' (without a stem) and 'daisy' (the flower), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a daisy lacking a stem or with a very short stem. This adjective + noun compounding is a regular, productive and cross‑linguistically common pattern, making the expression immediately comprehensible.

Etymology

Stemless daisy: The name stemless daisy comes from how the plant looks. The white daisy flowers sit almost on the leaves because the plant is stemless and has no long stem, so the name means 'a daisy with very short or no stem'.
