Morphology

globetrot = globe + trot (transparent) = globe + trot

The meaning is directly derived from 'globe' + 'trot' (to 'trot' around the globe), so a learner knowing the components can infer the sense.

Etymology

Globetrot combines globe ('the world') and trot ('to walk or run quickly'), so it gives the image of someone 'trotting' around the globe. That's why globetrot means to travel to many different countries for fun or adventure.
