Morphology

juicehead = juice + head (semi-transparent) = juice + head

The compound structure juice + head is clear, but the specific meaning 'user of anabolic steroids' depends on slang sense of 'juice' that learners may not know.

Etymology

Juicehead comes from the words juice and head. 'Juice' became slang for the steroid drugs that give people extra strength, and 'head' means a person who uses or likes something, so a juicehead is someone who uses steroids to get very muscular, and sometimes the term is also used for heavy drinkers.
