Morphology

vineyard = vine + yard (transparent) = vine + yard

The word is a straightforward compound of 'vine' + 'yard' meaning an area/enclosure where vines are grown.

Etymology

Vineyard is made from the two simple words vine ('grape plant') and yard ('enclosed place'). So a vineyard is literally a 'yard for vines', a farm where grapevines are grown to make wine.
