Morphology
san = S + A + N
This is an acronym (initialism) formed from letters; the component letters do not transparently convey the meaning of the network term to learners.
Etymology
San comes from the first letters of Storage Area Network where 'storage' is a place to keep data and 'network' means a group of connected computers. So a san is a fast, central system that stores and shares data for many servers.
