Morphology

workstation = work + station (transparent) = work + station

A desk or area equipped for work is a literal 'station' for 'work', so the compound is directly interpretable.

Etymology

Workstation is simply work + station, literally a 'place to do work'. That's why a workstation can mean your desk or area with the tools and equipment you use to work.
