Morphology

more-mover = more + mover (semi-transparent) = more + mover

The components 'more' and 'mover' are compositionally clear, but the combined meaning is a specialized chess- composition term that a general learner would not reliably infer.

Etymology

More-mover comes from the plain parts more ('a larger number') and mover (from move, 'to move' or 'a move'). In chess, a more-mover is a puzzle where White must checkmate Black in a set, larger number of moves, so the name reminds you it needs 'more' moves than the usual short puzzles.
