Morphology
The meaning 'a raspberry that is red' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'red' (a color) with 'raspberry' (the fruit/plant). This simple adjective+noun descriptive pattern is basic and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Red raspberry comes from naming the berry by its color: people added red to raspberry to point to the bright red berries and to tell them apart from black or golden kinds. That's why red raspberry means the red fruit or plant.
