multiscreen = screen (transparent) = multi + screen

Multiscreen comes from the prefix multi- 'many' and screen 'a device that shows images', so it gives the clear idea of 'many screens' used together. That's why calling a setup multiscreen means it uses more than one monitor or display at the same time.
