Morphology

azure + aster

The phrase denotes an aster that is azure in color, so the meaning 'a purplish‑blue aster' is directly composed from 'azure' (a vivid blue color) + 'aster' (a flower). This noun + modifier pattern is literal and cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.

Etymology

The plant name azure aster comes from old words meaning azure 'blue' and aster 'star'. Its bright blue petals spread out from the centre like a small star, so the name helps you remember it is a blue, star-shaped flower.
