Morphology

geodist = distance (semi-transparent) = geo + dist

The form appears to combine an earth-related geo- element with an abbreviated distance element, so the meaning is only partly predictable.

Etymology

Geodist combines geo- ('earth') and dist from distance ('distance'), like in geography, so it names a measure of how far two places are on the Earth's surface.
