Morphology
MSG = M + S + G
MSG is an initialism (letters stand for monosodium glutamate); the letters are not English morphemes and do not transparently convey the word's meaning to learners.
Etymology
MSG is the initials of monosodium glutamate. Here mono means 'one', sodium is a kind of 'salt', and glutamate is the part that gives a savory taste, so the name is a simple label for the 'salt' used to make food taste more savory.
