Morphology

lambskin = lamb + skin (transparent) = lamb + skin

Meaning is directly derivable from 'lamb' + 'skin' (the skin of a lamb used for clothing or leather).

Etymology

The word lambskin is simply lamb + skin, meaning the skin of a young sheep, often with the wool still on. That's why lambskin gloves and coats feel soft and keep you warm.
