Morphology

problemo = problem (transparent) = problem + o

The form and meaning are a clear playful variant of 'problem' formed by adding the informal jocular suffix '-o'.

Etymology

Problemo comes from the common word problem with a playful -o ending, as in the joking phrase 'No problemo'. That ending makes the word sound light and funny, so problemo is used to mean a small or informal 'problem'.
