Morphology
add-in = add in (semi-transparent) = in + add
The noun clearly comes from the phrasal verb 'add in', but the software-specific lexicalized sense is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
Add-in is also made from add and in, meaning 'to put in', so imagine putting a small tool inside a program, like a 'plug-in'. So an add-in is a software component you add to an app to give it new features.
