Morphology

lanceman = lance + man (transparent) = lance + man

Built directly from the noun 'lance' and 'man' to indicate a person associated with lances, a meaning that is readily inferable.

Etymology

Lanceman comes from lance 'spear' + man 'person'. It originally named someone who made, sold, or repaired lances, so you can picture a 'spear person' who kept knights' weapons ready.
