Morphology
The meaning 'plants with edible leaves' is directly and compositionally derived from 'leafy' (having many leaves) + 'vegetable' (edible plant); it follows a standard adjective + noun pattern so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the phrase. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent construction, increasing its predictability for learners.
Etymology
Leafy vegetable is a simple name that gives a clear picture: the part you eat is the leafy top of a vegetable. So it means 'plants with edible leaves and stems', like spinach or lettuce.
