Morphology
dead + bedroom
‘Dead’ readily conveys ‘no life or activity’ and combined with ‘bedroom’ a B1 learner can infer a bedroom lacking activity, so the basic compositional logic is clear. However, the specific, relationship‑focused sense (a lack of physical/sexual intimacy) is a pragmatic extension that is not fully predictable from the words alone and typically requires discourse or cultural knowledge, so the item is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Dead bedroom paints a clear picture: a bedroom called dead feels empty and quiet, without romantic activity. So it is used to describe a relationship with 'little or no sexual or physical intimacy'.
