Morphology

infotech = info + tech (transparent) = info + tech

Formed from the clearly recognizable clippings 'info' (information) + 'tech' (technology), so the meaning is directly recoverable.

Etymology

The word infotech joins info (short for 'information') and tech (short for 'technology'). So infotech means the tools and systems, like computers and networks, that store, send, and find information.
