Surface Forms

multisite singular
multisites plural

Morphology

multisite = site (semi-transparent) = multi + site

The form is transparent, but the platform-specific sense is a specialized technical extension of 'multiple sites' rather than a fully literal everyday meaning.

Etymology

Multisite combines multi- 'many' and site 'place' or 'website', as in website, so a multisite system lets you manage 'many websites' from one place.
