Morphology

Brunei + dollar

The meaning 'the basic unit of currency in Brunei' is directly derivable from combining the country name 'Brunei' with the known currency term 'dollar' — it denotes the dollar used in that country. This country-name + currency pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows a transparent compositional pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words can readily understand.

Etymology

Brunei dollar comes from the country's name Brunei plus the common money word dollar. It simply means the main unit of money used in Brunei and is often shown as 'BND'.
