Morphology

carrottop = carrot + top (semi-transparent) = carrot + top

A metaphorical compound: 'carrot' (orange hair colour) + 'top' (head/hair); the meaning 'person with red hair' is inferable but relies on cultural metaphor and slang use.

Etymology

Carrottop comes from the two simple words carrot and top, making a picture of a bright orange carrot sitting on the top of someone's head. So, carrottop is a playful name for a person with bright 'orange' or red hair.
