Morphology

webshot = web + shot (transparent) = web + shot

Meaning is directly the compound 'web' + 'shot' (an image related to the web), which B1 learners can derive from the parts.

Etymology

Webshot combines web ('the internet or a website') and shot ('a quick photo'), so it is like a 'snapshot' of a web page. That's why it means a digital image that shows how a page looks.
