Morphology

beestung = bee + sting (transparent) = bee + stung

The adjective denotes being affected by a bee's sting and is directly derivable from 'bee' + 'stung'.

Etymology

Beestung comes from the simple idea of bee + stung, like someone 'stung' by a bee and left swollen or puffy. So beestung describes lips or a face that looks red and swollen as if from a bee sting.
