Morphology
ESP = extrasensory + perception (semi-transparent) = E + S + P
ESP is an initialism that directly stands for the phrase 'extrasensory perception', so the link to the base words is direct. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
ESP is short for extra- + sensory + perception, which together mean 'beyond' the 'senses'. So ESP is a way to say you notice or know things without using the normal five senses.
