bushmaster = bush + master (opaque) = bush + master

Used as the proper name of an armored vehicle, this sense is a product/brand name and the vehicle meaning is not derivable from the component words.

Etymology

Bushmaster joins bush 'rough, rural land' and master 'one who controls'. The Australian armored vehicle was named to show it can carry and protect soldiers across hard country, so a bushmaster is a vehicle that 'masters' difficult terrain.
