Morphology
Hooters = hooter (opaque) = hoot + er + s
Although the form can be segmented as hoot + -er + plural -s, the slang meaning 'breasts' is not predictably built from 'hoot' for most learners.
Etymology
Hooters as a crude slang for a woman's breasts is a playful use of the older word hooter, which comes from hoot meaning the 'sound of an owl' and was also used as informal talk for a nose or a prominent thing; a helpful way to remember it is that the restaurant name made the cheeky meaning much more common.
