傘 on Japanese Wikipedia

Compound of相合(aiai,“doing things together”) +‎傘(kasa,“umbrella”). Thekasa changes togasa as an instance ofrendaku (連(れん)濁(だく)).

相合傘 has a strong romantic implication, stemming in part from a play on words. The first two characters are pronouncedあい(ai), the same as the word愛(あい)(ai,“love”), and thus the connotation is that both people under the umbrella are in love.
