Morphology

webcast = web + cast (transparent) = web + cast

Meaning is directly composed from 'web' + 'cast' = to transmit over the web; the components and their combination are clear to learners.

Etymology

Webcast joins web (the 'internet') and cast (to 'send out', as in broadcast). So a webcast is a video or audio that is sent out over the internet for many people to watch or listen to.
