Morphology

speedwalk = speed + walk (transparent) = speed + walk

Meaning is a direct combination of 'speed' + 'walk' (a walk done at a faster-than-normal pace), so learners who know the components can infer it.

Etymology

Speedwalk comes from the simple words speed ('quick') and walk ('to move on foot'), so a speedwalk is a walk done quickly for exercise or sport — faster than normal walking but not running.
