Morphology

standalone = stand + alone (transparent) = stand + alone

The meaning is directly recoverable from the familiar compound 'stand alone', referring to something that operates by itself.

Etymology

Standalone as a noun follows the same idea: it is literally a thing that 'stands alone'. That is why a standalone is a self-contained device or product that can operate by itself without being connected to others.
