Morphology

uptime = up + time (transparent) = up + time

The meaning is directly composed from 'up' (operational) + 'time' (period), so learners who know the components can infer 'period when something is operational'.

Etymology

Uptime is a word made from up and time, literally the 'time' something is 'up' or running. So uptime means the period when a machine, computer, or service is working and available to use.
