Morphology

fuglewoman = fugleman (semi-transparent) = fugle + woman

Formed by replacing the gendered element 'man' in the rare noun 'fugleman' with 'woman'; 'woman' is clear but 'fugle' is not a familiar English morpheme.

Etymology

Fuglewoman breaks into fugle and woman, and a helpful way to remember fugle is to think of the familiar word bugle, a horn that 'calls' people together; with woman it becomes a female leader. So a fuglewoman is a woman who 'calls' and organizes others, a spokesperson or political leader.
