Morphology

SPL = S + P + L

This is an initialism (Standard PHP Library); the letters do not transparently indicate the technical meaning to learners who do not know the expansion.

Etymology

SPL stands for the Standard PHP Library, which is like a built-in 'library' of ready code for the PHP language. Imagine a real library where you borrow useful tools; the SPL gives programmers ready-made parts to handle lists and common jobs, so coding is faster and simpler.
