Morphology

classwide = class + wide (transparent) = class + wide

Formed from 'class' + '-wide' where '-wide' denotes 'throughout' or 'affecting the whole', so the meaning 'affecting all members of a class' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Classwide comes from two simple words, class 'a group of students' and wide 'covering all', so it means something that affects or includes the whole class.
