Morphology
ELT = E + L + T
ELT is an initialism (letters E-L-T) whose components are not meaningful English morphemes for learners; the expansion (Extract/Load/Transform) must be known to understand the term.
Etymology
ELT: The letters in ELT come from Extract, Load, and Transform. In this data method you 'extract' data, 'load' it into a target system, and then 'transform' it there, so the name tells you the exact order of the steps.
