Surface Forms
Morphology
mustanger = Mustang (semi-transparent) = mustang + er
Formally transparent as 'Mustang' + agentive '-er', but the proper-name source and hobbyist/owner sense may be less predictable for some learners.
Etymology
Mustanger can also mean a fan, owner, or restorer of the Ford Mustang car, because the car was named after the wild mustang horse and the ending -er makes it 'a person who does or owns something'. So a mustanger is someone who owns, fixes, or shows these cars.
