Morphology
Cerro + Bonete
This is a toponym (proper name) rather than a compositional English phrase; the listed constituents are not English lexical items here, so a B1 learner who only knows English words could not derive that it names a mountain. Any transparency would rely on knowledge of Spanish (e.g. 'cerro' = hill) or on prior exposure to the place name, so it is not predictably interpretable from the parts for typical learners.
Etymology
Cerro Bonete likely comes from Spanish words: cerro means 'hill' or 'small mountain' and bonete means 'cap' or 'small hat'. People probably gave this name because the mountain's top looks like a cap, so the name tells us about the mountain's shape and why it refers to a high peak.
