Morphology

grilled + weiner

The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'grilled' (cooked on a grill) + 'wiener' (a sausage), so a learner who knows both words will readily infer it refers to a sausage cooked on a grill. This follows the regular adjective+noun pattern common across languages, and the minor spelling variant ('weiner' vs 'wiener') does not affect predictability.

Etymology

The compound grilled wiener shows a simple picture: a wiener, a small sausage, cooked on a hot grill. That's why it means 'a wiener cooked on a grill', often served in a bun like a 'hot dog'.
