Morphology

appendix = append (transparent) = append + ix

The meaning 'a thing appended' is directly inferable from the verb 'append', so learners who know 'append' can deduce a supplemental section.

Etymology

Appendix comes from the Latin appendere, which means 'to hang on' or 'attach' and is the same idea behind the English verb append ('to add'). Think of a small note 'hung' at the end of a book — that's why an appendix is extra information added after the main text.
