Morphology

taxwoman = tax + woman (transparent) = tax + woman

Meaning is directly and predictably composed from 'tax' + 'woman' (a woman associated with taxes).

Etymology

Taxwoman comes from joining tax ('a charge by the government') and woman ('an adult female'), so it is a simple compound word. A taxwoman is therefore just a woman who collects or deals with taxes.
