Morphology

beaked + parsley

The noun phrase denotes a type of parsley described by the adjective 'beaked' and its meaning follows directly from combining 'beaked' (having a beak-like projection) with 'parsley' (the herb). This simple adjective + noun descriptive pattern is compositionally transparent and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Beaked parsley comes from the plant's small fruits or 'seeds' that stick out and look like a bird's beak. That's why the herb is called beaked parsley today.
