Morphology
autosuggestion = suggestion (transparent) = auto + suggest + ion

Etymology
Autosuggestion comes from auto- meaning 'automatic' or 'self', as in automatic, and suggestion meaning 'an idea offered to someone'. So, in software and search boxes, autosuggestion is when the system automatically offers words or completions for you as you type.
