Morphology

nice + weather

The meaning 'pleasant weather' is directly and compositionally derived from combining the adjective 'nice' (pleasant) with the noun 'weather' (state of the atmosphere). This straightforward adjective+noun pattern is common across languages and follows standard English semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.

Etymology

The phrase nice weather comes from putting nice (pleasant) together with weather (the sun, wind and rain outside). The picture of warm sun and calm air helps explain why nice weather means 'pleasant, comfortable weather'.
