Morphology

gaswoman = gas + woman (transparent) = gas + woman

The meaning is directly built from the clear compound 'gas' + 'woman' meaning a woman who works with or for gas services.

Etymology

Gaswoman combines gas ('the fuel we use for cooking and heating') and woman, so it is simply a woman who works for the gas company. A gaswoman is someone who checks, inspects, or repairs pipes, meters, and appliances, which explains the word's current meaning.
