Morphology

Cubmaster = cub + master (transparent) = cub + master

Etymology

Cubmaster combines cub, which means 'a young animal' and is used for young scouts, and master, which means 'leader' and appears in the word headmaster. So a Cubmaster is the adult who leads and cares for a Cub Scout pack.
