Morphology

summer + getaway

The phrase 'summer getaway' is a straightforward noun–noun combination where 'summer' specifies the time and 'getaway' means a short trip or vacation; the overall meaning is directly derivable from the constituents. This standard compositional pattern is common across languages and in English, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.

Etymology

Summer getaway joins summer, the warm season, and getaway, a quick escape, to paint a clear picture of leaving your daily place for a short, relaxing trip in warm weather, so it means 'a vacation or short trip taken during the summer'.
