Morphology
trans + man
The phrase combines the modifier 'trans' (short for transgender) with the noun 'man', so its meaning — a man who is transgender or who transitioned — is directly derivable from the constituents. While 'trans' is a sociopolitical label that some learners may not know, the modifier+noun composition is straightforward and cross-linguistically paralleled, so a learner who knows both parts will understand the phrase.
Etymology
The term trans man combines trans, short for 'transgender' meaning a person whose gender is different from the one they were given at birth, and man. So, a trans man is someone who was 'assigned female at birth' but lives and sees himself as a man.
