Morphology
Czechoslovak = Czech + Slovak (transparent) = czech + slovak
Formed by compounding the two national/ethnic names (Czech + Slovak, with a linking -o); the meaning (a person of the former Czechoslovakia) is directly derived from those components.
Etymology
Czechoslovak comes from the two names Czech and Slovak and from the country name Czechoslovakia, which literally means 'land of the Czechs and Slovaks'. So a Czechoslovak was a person from that former country.
