Morphology

embed = bed (transparent) = em + bed

The computing/web sense is a metaphorical extension of 'place into' or 'fix into', which is directly derivable from 'em-' + 'bed'.

Etymology

Embed comes from the parts em- 'in' and bed 'place', so a helpful image is planting a flower in a garden bed. That's why to embed a video or map on a web page is to put it inside the page so it looks and works as part of that page.
