Morphology
DPF = diesel + particulate + filter (semi-transparent) = D + P + F
The letters correspond directly to the three content words ('diesel particulate filter'), but as an initialism the mapping requires domain knowledge and recognition of the abbreviation.
Etymology
The word DPF comes from the three words diesel, particulate, filter. It works like the car's soot catcher because it traps 'small particles' or 'soot' from the engine's smoke, which is why a DPF makes the air cleaner.
