Morphology
multivariate = variate (semi-transparent) = multi + variate
The prefix 'multi-' is clear, but the technical base 'variate' is uncommon for many learners, so the meaning is only partly transparent.
Etymology
The word multivariate combines multi- meaning 'many' and variate related to variable, which means 'something that can change'. So multivariate is about 'many things that can change', which is why it describes analysis that looks at two or more variables.
