Morphology

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

The nominal sense (duration or running period) is a literal compound 'run' + 'time' and is readily understandable.

Etymology

Runtime joins run ('to be in action') and time ('a period when something happens'), so as a noun it means the period or setting when a program is active, in other words the time the program runs.
