Morphology

frogwoman = frog + woman (semi-transparent) = frog + woman

Components 'frog' + 'woman' are form-visible, but the specialized meaning 'female diver/specialist' is metaphorical/technical rather than a literal amphibian-woman interpretation.

Etymology

Frogwoman comes from the older term frogman, made from frog and man because early divers wore fins and suits that made them swim like a 'frog'. So a frogwoman is a woman who works underwater as a diver.
