Morphology
The components 'sheltered' (shielded/protected) and 'workshop' (a place of work) allow a learner to infer a 'protected' or 'supportive' place of employment, so part of the meaning is compositional. However, the specific institutional sense — a program or workplace providing employment for people with disabilities — is a specialized socio-occupational concept not fully predictable from the parts, so it is best judged semi-transparent.
Etymology
Sheltered workshop comes from the image of a sheltered, protected workshop where people can learn and do jobs in a calm, supported place. That's why it means 'a workplace that gives safe, supported work to people with physical or developmental disabilities'.
