Morphology

HSI = hyperspectral + imaging (opaque) = H + S + I

HSI is an initialism for a technical phrase ('hyperspectral imaging'); the letters do not follow productive English morphology and the expansion is specialised vocabulary unlikely to be deduced by an average learner.

Etymology

HSI comes from hyper (meaning 'over' or 'many'), spectral (about 'colors' or 'bands of light') and 'imaging', so it literally means taking pictures with many narrow color bands. That's why HSI helps scientists find materials or conditions that a normal photo cannot show.
