Morphology
fMRI = functional + magnetic + resonance + imaging (opaque) = f + M + R + I
The relation is an initialism: the letters represent component words but the abbreviated form does not convey meaning to learners who do not know the expansion.
Etymology
The word fMRI is short for functional magnetic resonance imaging; functional means 'working', magnetic is like a 'magnet', and imaging is a 'picture'. So an fMRI is a special 'magnet picture' that shows which parts of the brain are working.
