Morphology

golden + everlasting

The meaning 'an everlasting (daisy-family) flower that is golden in colour' is directly and compositionally derived from 'golden' (gold-coloured) + 'everlasting' (a flower that preserves when dried). This is a straightforward adjective + noun combination that a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand.

Etymology

Golden everlasting — The name golden everlasting comes from the plant's bright golden flowers that keep their shape and color when dried. Because the blooms seem to last for a very long time, people called them everlasting, so the name reminds you it is a yellow plant often used as a 'dried flower'.
