Morphology

requisition + form

The compound meaning is directly compositional: a 'requisition form' is a form used to make a requisition, which a learner who knows 'requisition' and 'form' can infer. This N+N construction follows standard English patterns and has clear equivalents in many languages, so the meaning is immediately transparent.

Etymology

The noun requisition form comes from the idea of a formal written requisition ('request') on a form ('paper'). Imagine filling out that paper to tell the office exactly what supplies or services you need, so it means 'an official document used to ask for something'.
