Morphology

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

The noun names the mode produced by combining 'full' and 'screen'; the referent is directly predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Fullscreen as a noun is the name for a display mode made from full ('complete') + screen (the display), and that is why watching in fullscreen means the content fills the entire screen and hides borders.
