Morphology

knead + board

The meaning 'a large, flat wooden board used for kneading dough' is directly derivable from combining 'knead' (to press and stretch dough) with 'board' (a flat piece of material), so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand the referent. This simple noun+noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows transparent English compounding, making it immediately comprehensible.

Etymology

The noun kneading board is the flat wooden board where bakers push and fold 'dough' with their hands, the action called kneading. So the name simply means a large, flat wooden board used to make bread.
