Morphology

Seahawk = sea + hawk (semi-transparent) = sea + hawk

The components 'sea' and 'hawk' are transparently visible, but the proper-name usage as a team mascot is conventional and not a literal animal, so learners cannot derive the team meaning purely from the parts.

Etymology

Seahawk comes from the simple parts sea ('the ocean') and hawk ('a bird that hunts'), so it brings to mind a strong bird of the sea. The Seattle football team chose this name, and a Seahawk is anyone who plays for or supports that team.
