Morphology

logit = log + odds (semi-transparent) = log + it

Verb usage derives from the noun 'logit' (to take the log-odds); the morphological link is technical and requires statistical knowledge.

Etymology

Logit as a verb follows the same idea: to turn a probability into the log-odds by taking the 'logarithm' of its 'odds', which is why to logit a value means to change it into the log of its odds.
