Morphology

V-day = V + day (semi-transparent) = V + day

The form is a conventional abbreviation built on 'V' plus 'day', so the meaning is recoverable once the expansion is known, but not fully from the string alone.

Etymology

V-day is short for Victory Day, where the letter V stands for 'victory', so the day marks or celebrates when a war was won.
