Morphology
compose = pose (semi-transparent) = com + pose
The prefix 'com-' suggests togetherness, but the specific meaning of creating something is not fully transparent.
Etymology
Compose comes from the Latin parts com- ('together') and ponere ('to put'), so it literally means to 'put things together'. You can see the same root in component and position, which helps you remember that to compose music or a text is to arrange parts into one whole.
