menswear = men + wear (transparent) = men + wear

Clear compound of 'men' + 'wear' meaning clothing for men; an average learner knowing the parts can derive the meaning.

Etymology

Menswear is made from the two simple parts men and wear: men means 'male people' and wear means 'clothes', so the word literally means 'clothes for men' and is used for the clothes themselves or the business that makes them.
