Morphology

whore's-bird = whore + bird (semi-transparent) = whore + bird

Formally a compound combining 'whore' (possessive) + 'bird'; the components are clear but the insulting, colloquial sense and possessive construction make the meaning somewhat idiomatic.

Etymology

Whore's-bird combines whore and bird, and a helpful image is a bird moving from flower to flower to remember someone who 'moves from lover to lover'. So, it names a person, often a man, who is 'promiscuous' or has many lovers.
