Morphology

manbot = man + bot (semi-transparent) = man + bot

The derogatory sense is metaphorical: a 'man' behaving like a 'bot' is inferable, but it requires pragmatic world knowledge and is not a strictly literal compound.

Etymology

Manbot joins man and bot, with bot coming from robot, a machine that works 'without feeling'. So calling someone a manbot means they behave like a machine, acting without feeling or thought.
