Morphology

cinnamon-scented = cinnamon + scented (transparent) = cinnamon + scent + ed

Formed by combining the noun 'cinnamon' with the adjective 'scented' (scent + -ed), so the meaning 'having the smell of cinnamon' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Cinnamon-scented begins with cinnamon, the spice name that comes from an old word used long ago in the Middle East and Asia for a fragrant tree bark. The second part, scented (from scent), means 'smell', so cinnamon-scented simply means 'having the smell of cinnamon'.
