Morphology

multiday = day + multi (transparent) = multi + day

The meaning is directly compositional: 'multi-' means many and 'day' refers to days, so the adjective means lasting more than one day.

Etymology

Multiday comes from the prefix multi- meaning 'many' and the simple word day, so it literally means 'many days'. That's why multiday describes events or activities that last for more than one day.
