Morphology

receipts = receipt (transparent) = receipt + s

The slang/informal plural 'receipts' meaning 'pieces of evidence' is a direct extension of 'receipt' as a written proof, so learners who know 'receipt' will readily infer this meaning.

Etymology

The word receipts also means proof or evidence online. A helpful way to remember this is to think of a paper receipt from a shop that proves you bought something, so screenshots or messages are like modern 'receipts' used as proof.
