Morphology
ar = augmented reality (opaque) = A + R
The form 'AR' is an initialism made of letters rather than productive English morphemes, so the abbreviation itself does not transparently convey meaning to learners without expansion.
Etymology
The word ar is short for the phrase augmented reality, where augmented means 'added to' and reality means 'the real world'. So AR is technology that 'adds' pictures or information to what you see in the real world.
