Morphology

popup = pop + up (transparent) = pop + up

Formed from the phrasal verb 'pop up' (to appear suddenly); 'popup' as an adjective describing something that appears briefly is directly derived from that sense.

Etymology

Popup is made from the two simple words pop and up, where pop means a quick, sudden move or sound and up means 'rise' or 'appear'. So a popup event or shop is something that 'appears quickly' and is only there for a short time.
