Morphology

stormtrooper = storm + trooper (transparent) = storm + trooper

The compound directly names a type of soldier (one who 'storms' or assaults), so knowing 'storm' and 'trooper' lets a learner infer the general meaning.

Etymology

Stormtrooper joins storm ('sudden attack') and trooper ('soldier' or 'member of a troop'), and in history the name was used for special German soldiers in World War I who made fast, aggressive attacks, which is why the word can mean a very disciplined, attacking soldier today.
