Morphology
socials = social studies (semi-transparent) = social + s
A clipped informal form of 'social studies' (first element + plural marker); understandable if the learner knows the full phrase but not fully predictable from morphology alone.
Etymology
The word socials is a casual short form of social studies, where social comes from Latin socius meaning 'companion' and links to society. So socials are the school classes about people, history, and how we live together.
