Morphology

datemark = date + mark (transparent) = date + mark

The meaning is directly compositional: 'date' specifies the time label and 'mark' means to stamp or indicate it.

Etymology

Datemark comes from putting together date ('day' or 'time') and mark ('sign'), so to datemark something is to put a date sign on it to show when it was made, received, or processed.
