Morphology

bedhop = bed + hop (transparent) = bed + hop

Meaning is directly derived from the compound 'bed' + 'hop' — literally 'hop from bed to bed', a clear figurative extension similar to 'barhop'.

Etymology

Bedhop is made of bed and hop, where hop means 'to jump'. So, to bedhop is like 'jumping' from one bed to another, meaning 'to have sex' with several partners, often in a casual way.
