Morphology
Laburnum + anagyroides
This is a Latin binomial (scientific) name combining a genus label with a specific epithet; the epithet 'anagyroides' is not a common English word and is not found in the learner dictionary provided. Understanding that it denotes a particular species requires domain-specific botanical knowledge or familiarity with Latin/Greek formation, so a B1 learner who knows the surface constituents would not be able to derive the full meaning.
Etymology
Laburnum anagyroides is a tree with long, hanging clusters of bright yellow flowers that look like a 'golden chain'. That clear image helps you remember that the name refers to an ornamental tree covered in golden, drooping blooms.
