Morphology

umbrageous + tree

The meaning 'a tree that provides shade' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'umbrageous' (providing shade) with 'tree' (a perennial plant), following a straightforward adjective + noun composition. This is a literal, compositional pattern found across languages and requires no idiomatic or metaphorical inference, so a learner who knows both constituent words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Umbrageous tree comes from an old word for 'shadow' and creates a simple picture of a tree with thick leaves that makes a cool spot under it. That's why umbrageous tree means a tree that gives plenty of 'shade'.
