Morphology

bulltoad = bull + toad (semi-transparent) = bull + toad

The insulting sense is a metaphorical extension of 'toad' (unpleasant/ugly person) intensified by 'bull'; the relation is predictable but figurative.

Etymology

Bulltoad joins bull and toad to make the image of a 'big, ugly' creature. That's why, in informal or regional speech, calling someone a bulltoad means they are coarse, rude, or unpleasant.
