Morphology

CPT = C + P + T

CPT is an initialism whose components are letters, not productive English morphemes, so learners cannot derive the meaning without knowing the expanded phrase.

Etymology

CPT is an abbreviation of count, per, time, meaning the number of events in a set time period. So a higher CPT value shows more frequent events during the measured time.
