Morphology
1900s = 1900 (transparent) = 1900 + s
The form is the base year '1900' with a regular plural/decade marker '-s', so the meaning is directly derived from the base number.
Etymology
1900S is just the number 1900 with the letter s added to show 'years of', so it means the ten years from 1900 to 1909.
