Morphology

statewide = state + wide (transparent) = state + wide

The meaning is directly composed from 'state' + '-wide' (as in 'nationwide'), meaning 'throughout the state', which is clear to learners who know both components.

Etymology

Statewide joins state 'a political area' and wide 'across a large area', so it means something that happens or exists all over a state.
