Morphology

eyepoint = eye + point (transparent) = eye + point

A literal compound 'eye' + 'point' denoting the position related to the eye/viewing, so the components directly yield the technical meaning.

Etymology

The word eyepoint comes from eye and point, where eye is the viewer and point means a single place. Think of it as the exact spot where your eye is 'located' or 'aimed' when you look at something. So an eyepoint is the position from which you 'view' a scene or image.
