Morphology

multiview = view (semi-transparent) = multi + view

The form is easy to parse, but the display-mode sense is a specialized technical application rather than a fully ordinary everyday one.

Etymology

Multiview comes from multi- 'many' and view 'look', so a multiview screen or mode shows many camera feeds or images together so you can watch several places at once.
