Morphology

skylounge = sky + lounge (transparent) = sky + lounge

Clear, productive combination of 'sky' + 'lounge' referring to a lounge associated with high floors/views, so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Skylounge joins sky and lounge: sky suggests a 'high place with wide views' and lounge means a 'relaxed sitting area', so a skylounge is a comfortable room high up where people can sit and enjoy the view.
