Morphology
The meaning 'a decorative or protective covering placed over a bed' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bed' (sleeping furniture) + 'cover' (an object that covers or protects). This straightforward noun compound follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The noun bed cover comes from the simple idea of a cloth that covers the bed, like a blanket put on top to protect the sheets and make the room look nice. So, it now means 'a decorative or protective covering placed over a bed'.
