Morphology
multitouch = multitouch (transparent) = multi + touch
The noun is a zero-derived conversion from the adjective multitouch, so the form itself does not change.
Etymology
Multitouch combines multi- ('many') and touch ('to touch with a finger'), and as a technology it lets a screen sense and respond to several touches at once.
