Morphology

Northwoman = north + woman (transparent) = north + woman

Meaning is directly the combination 'north' + 'woman' (a woman from the north), which an average learner can infer.

Etymology

Northwoman combines north ('the north') and woman ('a female person'), so it literally means a woman from the northern lands. That's why a Northwoman refers to a woman who comes from or is native to Scandinavia.
