Morphology

hatemonger = hate + monger (transparent) = hate + monger

Meaning is directly derived from 'hate' + 'monger' (someone who promotes or spreads hatred), a composition understandable from the base words.

Etymology

Hatemonger joins hate and monger, and monger used to mean 'seller', as in fishmonger or warmonger. So a hatemonger is like someone who 'sells' or spreads 'hate', which is why it means a person who encourages hatred.
