Morphology

sunblind = sun + blind (transparent) = sun + blind

The meaning is directly composed from 'sun' + 'blind'—a blind used to block sunlight—so learners can deduce it from the parts.

Etymology

The word sunblind is simply sun + blind, so think of it as a 'blind' for the sun. A blind is a cover you pull over a window 'to stop light', so a sunblind is a screen or cover used to protect people or things from strong sunlight.
