Morphology
contraception = conception (transparent) = contra + conception
Composed of 'contra-' (against) + 'conception' (becoming pregnant), so the meaning 'against conception' (prevention of pregnancy) is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word contraception comes from the parts contra- 'against' and conception 'becoming pregnant'. So contraception means the methods people use to stop or prevent pregnancy.
