Morphology

FYI = your + information (semi-transparent) = F + Y + I

The initialism directly stands for the phrase 'for your information', so the meaning is accessible from the base words, but the formation is an acronym (non-morphological) and requires familiarity with abbreviation conventions. [Postprocessing: moved 'for' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word FYI is short for for your information, literally 'for your information'. It names a short message you send to share facts or updates that usually need no reply.
