Morphology

datasheet = data + sheet (transparent) = data + sheet

A literal compound of 'data' + 'sheet': the meaning is directly a sheet (page/form) that contains data.

Etymology

Datasheet is simply two familiar parts: data meaning 'facts or information' and sheet meaning 'a page of paper'. So a datasheet is a page that lists important facts or technical details about a product, person, or system.
