Morphology
MBA = Master + Business + Administration (opaque) = M + B + A
The relation to 'Master', 'Business', and 'Administration' is direct when the acronym is expanded, but the letter form conceals those components for learners who don't know the expansion.
Etymology
MBA stands for Master of Business Administration, a short form made from the first letters of those words. Think of it as a 'master' who has learned to 'manage' a 'business', so an MBA is a degree for people who want to run or lead companies.
