Morphology

gearset = gear + set (transparent) = gear + set

Used metaphorically but composition 'gear' (equipment) + 'set' (collection) is clear and predictable for learners who know 'gear' in its 'equipment' sense.

Etymology

Gearset in games comes from the same parts: gear ('equipment') and set ('a group'). So a gearset is a ready group of items your character equips to do a particular job.
