Morphology

link-up = link + up (semi-transparent) = link + up

The connection to 'link up' is clear, but the particle 'up' contributes an idiomatic phrasal-verb sense rather than a fully literal spatial meaning.

Etymology

Link-up comes from link meaning 'connection' and up meaning 'together', like joining two links in a chain. So a link-up is a meeting or connection of people, groups, or systems to work together.
