Morphology
SOP = standard + operating + procedure (semi-transparent) = S + O + P
The abbreviation is directly formed from the phrase 'standard operating procedure', and the phrase's components clearly yield the meaning. [Postprocessing: changed transparency from 'transparent' to 'semi-transparent' for abbreviation]
Etymology
SOP stands for standard operating procedure, where standard means 'usual or accepted', operating means 'working', and procedure means 'a set of steps to do something'. So an SOP is a written list of usual steps people follow to do tasks the same way and safely every time.
