Morphology

yellow-tipped = yellow + tipped (transparent) = yellow + tip + ed

The compound combines 'yellow' + 'tipped' to mean 'having tips that are yellow', which is directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Yellow-tipped joins the common color yellow with tipped, from tip meaning 'end' or 'point'. So something yellow-tipped simply has yellow at its ends or points, which is why we use it for flowers or objects with yellow tips.
