Morphology

garden + strawberry

The meaning 'a strawberry grown in a garden' is directly and compositionally derivable from combining 'garden' (a place for cultivating plants) with 'strawberry' (the fruit). This noun–noun compound follows a common and transparent naming pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

Garden strawberry comes from the idea of people growing larger, sweet strawberry plants in a garden instead of picking small wild ones. That's why garden strawberry now means the common, 'cultivated' red fruit we eat.
