Morphology
backlit = lit (transparent) = back + lit
The meaning is clearly derived from the components 'back' and 'lit', indicating something lit from behind.
Etymology
Backlit is made of back ('behind') and lit from light ('made bright'). So it means 'lit from behind', like a photo or keyboard that glows because the light is behind it.
