Morphology
The meaning 'a drill attachment for boring' is directly derivable from combining 'bore' (to make a hole) with 'bit' (the cutting part of a drill); a B1 learner who knows both constituents will infer this is the bit used for boring. This verb+noun compound follows a common, transparent composition pattern found across languages and technical vocabulary, so the relation is predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Bore bit comes from the verb bore meaning 'to make a hole' and bit meaning the small cutting piece that bites into rock. So a bore bit is the part of a drill that digs into hard ground, which is why the name refers to the tool used to drill through rock.
