Morphology
GI = geographical indication (semi-transparent) = G + I
The initialism 'GI' abbreviates the phrase 'geographical indication', so the relation is transparent when the expansion is known. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
GI as a noun is short for geographical indication, where geo- means 'land', as in geography, and 'indication' means 'sign' or 'name tag', so a GI shows a product's place and special qualities.
