Morphology
JV = junior + varsity (semi-transparent) = J + V
The term is an initialism of the phrase 'junior varsity', so its meaning is directly derived from those two words for learners who recognise the expansion. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
JV is short for junior varsity. Junior means 'younger' and varsity means 'main school team', so JV is the younger or second school team that plays below the varsity team.
