Morphology
The adjective 'umbrageous' means 'providing shade' and when combined with the noun 'spot' yields the literal, compositional meaning 'a shaded or sheltered place.' This follows the regular adjective+noun pattern and is directly derivable from the constituents, so a learner who knows both words would understand it.
Etymology
Umbrageous spot comes from an old word for 'shade' and uses umbrageous to mean shady and spot to mean place. Imagine sitting in a cool patch under a tree where the sun can't reach, so it means 'a place that is shaded'.
