Morphology

warmhearted = warm + heart (transparent) = warm + heart + ed

The adjective is transparently built from 'warm' + 'heart' with the adjectival suffix '-ed' (as in kind-hearted), so learners who know the parts can infer the meaning.

Etymology

The word warmhearted comes from warm and hearted, meaning a 'warm' 'heart' — imagine a person whose feelings are warm and kind, so a warmhearted person is friendly, caring, and generous.
