Morphology
SPF = sun + protection + factor (semi-transparent) = S + P + F
The abbreviation is a direct initialism of 'sun protection factor', so the relation to the descriptive phrase is clear. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, which literally means 'how much a product protects your skin from the sun'. So a higher SPF number means more protection from sunburn.
