Morphology

horndog = horn + dog (semi-transparent) = horn + dog

The components 'horn' and 'dog' are visible, but the slang meaning 'sexually eager person' is metaphorical and requires familiarity with informal uses.

Etymology

The word horndog comes from the parts horn, as in 'horny', and dog, which gives a picture of a person always chasing a partner like a dog. So, horndog means a person who is very eager for sex.
