Morphology

cornfield + meet

The meaning 'an event held in a cornfield' is directly and compositionally derived from 'cornfield' (a field for growing corn) combined with 'meet' (a meeting or gathering). This location + event construction is a common, literal pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.

Etymology

Cornfield meet comes from the simple image of people meeting in a field of corn, often after the harvest. A cornfield is where corn grows and a meet is a meeting, so the picture of friends, music and food among the tall corn explains why it now means 'an event held in a cornfield'.
