Morphology

toymaker = toy + maker (transparent) = toy + maker

Clear compound of two common words; a 'toy' + 'maker' straightforwardly denotes someone who makes toys.

Etymology

Toymaker comes from the two simple English words toy ('a small play thing') and maker ('someone who makes things'), so it is easy to remember by picturing a person who makes toys. So, a toymaker is literally a person or company that designs and makes toys.
