Morphology

SD = Secure + Digital (semi-transparent) = S + D

An initialism of the technical term 'Secure Digital' (the standard name); the expansion is recoverable but does not by itself make clear to all learners that it denotes a removable memory card.

Etymology

SD stands for Secure Digital; secure means 'safe' and digital means 'using computers', so an SD card is a small, removable card used to store photos, music, and other digital files safely.
