Morphology

teleport = port (semi-transparent) = tele + port

The word is built from the recognizable elements 'tele-' and 'port', but the sci-fi meaning of instant transport is specialized rather than a fully ordinary everyday derivation.

Etymology

Teleport breaks into two simple parts: tele- meaning 'far' and -port from a word meaning 'to carry', the same idea you see in transport or portable. So to teleport is like being 'carried' 'far' in a moment, which explains why in stories people or things instantly appear in another place.
