Morphology

trollface + meme

The headword contains the transparent element 'meme', which signals an online image or media, and 'trollface' is analyzable as 'troll' + 'face', so a learner who knows those constituents can infer it refers to a face used in trolling. However, 'trollface' names a specific iconic image and carries cultural/visual connotations that are not fully predictable from the parts alone, so full understanding typically requires prior exposure.

Etymology

Trollface meme began as a simple black-and-white drawing of a big, silly face with a wide grin. People used that grinning face to show a troll happily tricking others online, so the image came to mean 'trolling' or online mischief.
