Morphology
1930s = 1930 (transparent) = 1930 + s
The suffix 's' is a standard English plural marker indicating a decade.
Etymology
1930S is a short form of nineteen-thirties, which means the 'decade' from 1930 to 1939. The final s shows the whole ten-year period, so the 1930s means the years 1930 through 1939.
