Morphology

runtime = run + time (transparent) = run + time

A straightforward compound of 'run' + 'time' meaning the time during which something runs or operates, which learners can infer from the components.

Etymology

Runtime combines run ('to be in action') and time ('a period when something happens'). So a runtime error is a problem that appears while the program is running.
