Etymology: Multiscreen is a plain compound: the prefix "multi-", from Latin "multus" meaning "many", joined to "screen". The Latin root reached English through Middle English and is the same source behind words like "multiple" and "multitude", so the prefix carries the sense of "many" wherever it appears. The "screen" half has a much longer history of its own, going back to the sense of a physical partition or shelter before it came to mean a display surface. Combining the two produces a term for something with multiple screens, such as a cinema complex or a device or setup that presents several displays at once.
