Morphology

walk-to = walk (transparent) = to + walk

The adjective directly derives from 'walk' + 'to' meaning reachable by walking, which is easily inferable by learners. [Postprocessing: moved 'to' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word walk-to comes from the simple parts walk and to, meaning a place you can 'walk to'. So a walk-to shop or school is one close enough that you can reach it 'on foot' without needing a car or bus.
