Morphology

playlist = play + list (transparent) = play + list

A straightforward compound of the common verb 'play' (to play music) and the noun 'list' meaning a sequence of items; the meaning 'a list of items to be played' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Playlist comes from two simple words: play ('to make or listen to music') and list ('a set of things in order'). So a playlist is literally a 'list' of songs to 'play' in the order you choose.
