Morphology
The meaning 'a spread made by grinding nuts' is directly and compositionally derived from 'nut' (edible seed) + 'butter' (a spread). The noun-noun compound pattern (as in 'peanut butter') and the common extension of 'butter' to mean any creamy spread make this sense immediately predictable for learners who know both constituents.
Etymology
Nut butter comes from a simple picture: people grind nuts until they form a smooth paste that looks and spreads like butter. That's why 'nut butter' means a 'spread' made from ground nuts.
