Morphology
TRT = T + R + T
As an abbreviation for 'total running time', the letters themselves do not transparently indicate duration to learners, so the composition is opaque.
Etymology
The word TRT comes from the first letters of total running time, meaning the 'full length' of a film, recording, or broadcast. So, TRT tells you how long something lasts.
