Morphology
whoremaster = whore + master (semi-transparent) = whore + master
The compound clearly signals involvement with prostitutes ('whore' + 'master'), but the precise role (purchaser, habitual patron, or controller/pimp) is not predictable without historical or contextual knowledge and the term is archaic/offensive.
Etymology
Whoremaster is an archaic and offensive word. It combines whore ('a prostitute') and master ('one in charge'), and it was used for a man who often visited or paid prostitutes, meaning a regular customer.
