Morphology

checkout = check out (transparent) = check + out

The noun names the action of the phrasal verb 'check out' (to inspect/verify) and is directly inferable from that verb.

Etymology

Checkout combines check and out; think of check as 'to look over' (like a checklist) and out as 'finished'. So a checkout is the act of looking over or testing something to make sure it works.
