Morphology

check-in = check in (semi-transparent) = check + in

The noun is built from the familiar phrasal verb 'check in', but the digital self-report sense is a specialized extension rather than a fully literal composition.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember check-in for apps is to see check as a quick 'confirm' and in as 'present' or 'here'. That's why a digital check-in is a short report that shows you are 'okay' or gives your current status.
