Morphology

daylong = day + long (transparent) = day + long

The meaning is directly derived from the combination of 'day' and 'long', indicating something that lasts for the entire day.

Etymology

Daylong is simply made from day and long, meaning 'lasting for a day' and very much like the phrase 'all day long'. So a daylong event goes on through the whole day.
