Morphology

storeman = store + man (transparent) = store + man

Meaning is directly derived from the compound 'store' + 'man' = a person who manages or works in a store/warehouse; this is predictable for intermediate learners.

Etymology

Storeman comes from store ('a place or supply of goods') and man ('person'), so it means the person who looks after the store. That's why a storeman receives, keeps and hands out supplies.
