liveware + aspect
The head 'aspect' is transparent, but the key element 'liveware' is technical jargon formed by analogy to 'hardware'/'software'. If a learner recognises that analogy they can infer 'human component', yet without domain familiarity the coinage is not immediately predictable from everyday vocabulary, so the phrase is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Liveware aspect The term liveware aspect comes from comparing a system to three parts: hardware, the physical machine, software, the programs, and liveware, the living people who use it. So the phrase means the 'human part' of a technology system, the people side, not the machines or the programs.
