Morphology

UX = U + X

UX is an initialism whose component letters do not convey the meaning 'user experience' to learners, so the relation is not derivable from its parts.

Etymology

UX is a short form made from the first letters of 'user' and 'experience', so it joins U (for 'user') and X (for 'experience'). A helpful way to remember UX is to think of U as 'you' and X as the feeling someone has when using a product, which is why UX means both the user's overall experience and the work designers do to improve that experience.
