Morphology
XSL = X + S + L
XSL is an initialism composed of letters (not productive English morphemes), so knowledge of the components does not let a learner derive the meaning of the term.
Etymology
XSL comes from the name Extensible Stylesheet Language, and it is a language for giving XML a 'style' or look. A helpful way to remember it is to think of XSL as the 'clothes' for a document: it decides how the document appears on screen or on paper.
