Morphology

cheesehead = cheese + head (semi-transparent) = cheese + head

The morphological composition is clear, but the insulting or regional-pejorative meaning is an extended, culture-specific sense not directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Cheesehead can also be used as an insult by rivals to mean someone from Wisconsin or a person seen as foolish, because calling someone 'cheese' links them to the state's cheese image.
