Morphology

leaderboard = leader + board (transparent) = leader + board

A straightforward compound of 'leader' + 'board' meaning a board or list showing leaders or rankings; the parts map directly to the meaning.

Etymology

The word leaderboard comes from the parts leader ('person in front') and board ('a flat surface or list'), so picture a board that shows who is ahead. That's why a leaderboard today is a list or sign that shows the top players and their scores.
