Morphology

Ghostbusters = Ghostbuster (transparent) = ghost + buster + s

The singular compound 'Ghostbuster' is a clear combination of 'ghost' + 'buster', and the final '-s' is a regular plural inflection.

Etymology

The word Ghostbusters is made from two words, ghost ('spirit') and buster ('one who defeats or stops something'), like in crimebuster. So the name means people who catch or stop ghosts and became the title of a famous 1984 movie about a team who do exactly that.
