Morphology

morning + run

The meaning 'a run taken in the morning' is directly and transparently derivable from the constituents 'morning' (the early part of the day) and 'run' (a period of running for exercise). This simple noun+noun/compound pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

Morning run paints a clear picture: someone taking a run in the morning, often at sunrise to wake up and get some exercise. So, it means 'a run taken in the morning', usually to exercise or clear your mind.
