Morphology
CSI = crime + scene + investigation (semi-transparent) = C + S + I
As an initialism referring to the unit that conducts crime scene investigations, the meaning is tied to the expanded words but not to productive morphological processes.
Etymology
CSI also comes from the first letters of Crime Scene Investigation, meaning the team or unit that studies a 'crime scene' and looks for clues, so a CSI can mean the whole group that collects and analyzes evidence.
