Morphology

LST = L + S + T

This is an initialism (acronym) formed from initials; the letters are not English morphemes and the meaning cannot be derived from them.

Etymology

LST stands for Land Surface Temperature and you can think of it as the Earth's 'skin' getting warm or cold. So LST is the measure of how hot the ground or top layer is, often taken from satellites.
