Morphology

roadwhore + lifestyle

The phrase is compositionally built from 'road' + 'whore' + 'lifestyle', so a learner who knows those constituent words can infer it denotes the way of life of someone who travels and engages in promiscuous or sex-work behaviour. Although 'roadwhore' is slang and derogatory and may be absent from dictionaries, the basic meaning is directly derivable from the parts and does not require idiomatic knowledge.

Etymology

Roadwhore lifestyle joins road (traveling from place to place) and whore (an old rude word for a person who sells sex) to make a picture in your mind of someone who travels a lot and has many sexual partners. So, it means a life of travel and sex work or casual sex, and it is usually used in a 'negative' way.
