Morphology

checkout = check out (transparent) = check + out

The noun is a nominalization of the hotel phrasal verb 'check out' (to leave/pay), so learners who know that verb can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Checkout combines check and out; think of check as 'finish' and out as 'leave'. So a checkout is the time you must finish and leave your hotel room.
