Morphology

artwork = art + work (semi-transparent) = art + work

The compound meaning is clear, but the modern extension to digital forms (including NFTs and interactive pieces) is a recent usage that may not be fully predictable.

Etymology

Artwork comes from art ('skill') plus work ('a thing made'), so it can mean any creative product. Today that includes digital images, animations, or NFT pieces that are made with skill and shown on screens.
