Morphology

woodshop = wood + shop (transparent) = wood + shop

The meaning is directly the combination of 'wood' + 'shop' (a place where wood is worked), which is readily inferable by learners.

Etymology

The word woodshop is made of wood ('the material from trees') and shop ('a place for work or trade'). So a woodshop is literally a place where people make or build things from wood, which is why it means a workshop or class for woodworking.
