Morphology
multiplex = multiplex (semi-transparent) = multi + plex
The noun is a converted use of the adjective 'multiplex', and the telecom meaning is a specialized extension of 'many-fold' over one channel.
Etymology
Multiplex comes from the parts multi- 'many' and -plex 'fold', the same idea you see in words like multiple and complex. So a multiplex in electronics is a device that sends many signals together over a single channel.
