Morphology

readout = read (transparent) = out + read

Formed as a straightforward compound of 'read' + 'out' meaning the output/result of reading or of an instrument 'reading out', which learners can derive. [Postprocessing: moved 'out' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word readout comes from the verb read ('to look at and understand') and the word out ('shown'), so a readout is the information or numbers that a machine 'reads out' on a screen or printout.
