Morphology

TV + newswoman

The meaning 'a woman who presents or reports news on television' is directly and transparently composed from 'TV' (television) and 'newswoman' (female news reporter); the relationship is literal and immediately inferable. This is a regular compound/headed noun phrase following common English patterns (and mirrored in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

TV newswoman comes from the simple parts TV, news, and woman: picture a woman by the TV screen telling viewers about current events. So it means 'a woman who presents or reports news stories on television'.
