Morphology

Springwood = spring + wood (semi-transparent) = spring + wood

The components 'spring' + 'wood' are compositionally clear, but as a proper name the referent is a place name whose properties are arbitrary and not fully predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Springwood is formed from two simple words: spring, meaning a small 'water source' or the 'spring' season, and wood, meaning a 'small forest'. So places called Springwood usually bring to mind a town or suburb with fresh water and trees.
