Morphology
transcription = transcribe (semi-transparent) = trans + script + ion
The sense 'an audio/video recording or the act of making such a recording' extends the basic notion of copying/transferring and is a domain-specific extension not always deducible by learners.
Etymology
Transcription as a recording or the act of making one also follows the idea of trans- 'across' and scrib 'write', meaning you 'write' sound across into another form (a recording or file), which is why it can mean the recording itself or the process of making it.
