Morphology
The noun is a straightforward compound: 'winter' + 'squash' names a type of squash associated with winter (harvested/stored for winter use), so the meaning is directly inferable from the constituents. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English compound formation, making it accessible to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Winter squash comes from the simple idea that this squash has a hard skin and was kept to eat in winter. So the name now means a type of squash you can 'store' and eat during the cold months.
