Morphology

cover-slut = cover + slut (semi-transparent) = cover + slut

The compound meaning ('a person obsessed with cover versions') is directly formed from 'cover' + 'slut', but the slang and derogatory extension of 'slut' to mean an enthusiast may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Cover-slut combines cover ('a song remade by another artist') and slut ('a person with many partners') as a joking label for someone who keeps making or proudly loving lots of cover songs and tribute-band shows.
