Morphology

questionnaire = question (semi-transparent) = question + naire

The meaning 'a set/collection of questions' can be inferred from 'question' but the suffix '-naire' is a borrowed, non-productive French element that may be unfamiliar to learners.

Etymology

Questionnaire comes from the word question plus a French ending, so it means 'a set of questions'. Its older root meant 'to ask' and is the same root as query and quest, which is why a questionnaire is a written list used to ask people for information.
