Morphology

landscape = land (opaque) = land + scape

Knowing 'land' and the suffix-like pattern '-scape' suggests a view or scene involving land, but it does not fully predict the specific artistic sense.

Etymology

Landscape is also used for the overall 'view' of a field or situation, so a political or business landscape is the whole situation you can see at once.
