Morphology
LCD = liquid + crystal + display (semi-transparent) = L + C + D
The full phrase 'liquid crystal display' directly describes the technology, so the relation between the base words and the concept is transparent. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
LCD stands for liquid crystal display, and a helpful way to remember it is to imagine tiny 'crystals' floating in a jelly-like 'liquid' that turn light on and off to make pictures. So an LCD is a thin, flat screen that makes images by controlling light with those liquid crystals.
