Morphology

hemp + collar

The meaning 'a collar made from hemp fiber' is directly derivable from combining 'hemp' (the material) with 'collar' (an item worn around the neck); the compound denotes material + object in a transparent, compositional way. This noun+noun pattern (material + product) is cross-linguistically common and would be clear to an average B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Hemp collar comes from the simple idea of a collar made from hemp, a strong natural plant fiber people used for ropes and clothes. Because hemp is durable and gentle on skin, the term today means a pet or fashion collar that is 'eco-friendly' and 'gentle on skin'.
