microcontroller = controller (semi-transparent) = micro + control + er
The form is clear as micro- plus controller, but the computing-specific device sense is somewhat technical.
Etymology
The word microcontroller comes from two parts: micro- meaning 'small', seen in words like microphone and microscope, and controller meaning 'to control'. So a microcontroller is a 'small controller', a tiny computer that controls electronic devices.
