Morphology

Timberland = timber + land (opaque) = timber + land

Although formed from 'timber' + 'land', the sense 'a brand of boots' is not derivable from the component meanings, so the compound is opaque for learners.

Etymology

Timberland comes from the English parts timber 'wood' and land 'ground', meaning a 'land of trees'. The boot brand used this name to make you think of the outdoors and strong, weather-proof shoes, so Timberland boots are known for being sturdy for rough, wet conditions.
