Morphology
SDLC = software + development + life + cycle (semi-transparent) = S + D + L + C
The acronym maps directly onto the phrase 'software development life cycle', so the meaning is clearly composed from the component words. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
SDLC is an abbreviation of software, development, life, and cycle. Think of software going through a 'life' — planning as birth, coding as growth, deployment as being used, and maintenance as care — and repeating as a 'cycle', which is why SDLC means the ordered steps to make and look after software.
