Is "full-blown" made up of an adjective (full) plus blown ( an adjective, past particle)?If I don't check the dictionary, how can I guess the meaning from two words here? What does blown mean here?

It would be difficult to guess the meaning from the words "full" and "blown" individually. com/word/full-blown Here they say that "full" is an adjective. I was tending towards adverb, but I think it is hard to judge.
