Morphology

speedwalk = speed + walk (transparent) = speed + walk

The meaning is directly compositional: walking at speed, i.e. faster than ordinary walking.

Etymology

To speedwalk is to do what the parts say: speed ('quick') + walk ('to move on foot'), so to speedwalk means to walk faster than usual, often for exercise, without breaking into a run.
