Morphology

fullscreen = full + screen (transparent) = full + screen

Clear compound of 'full' + 'screen'; the meaning is directly inferable from the components.

Etymology

Fullscreen comes from putting together the common words full ('whole' or 'complete') and screen (the display), so it gives a simple picture: something that fills the whole screen.
