Morphology
Solanum + nigrum + guineese
This is a Latin botanical name: 'Solanum' clearly signals a plant genus and the elements 'nigrum' (Latin for 'black') and 'guineese' (suggesting a Guinea/Guinean origin) give partial clues about colour and provenance. However, Latinized taxonomic terms and the specific cultivar meaning (a garden variety with small edible orange or black berries) are not fully predictable for an average B1 learner, so the relation is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Solanum nigrum guineese joins Solanum nigrum, the 'black nightshade', with guineese, a word that links the plant to Guinea in West Africa. So the name gives a simple picture: a garden variety of black nightshade from that region, known for its edible berries and leaves.
