Morphology

advertizement = advertise (transparent) = advertise + ment

A regular nominalization formed from the verb 'advertise' with the productive suffix '-ment', so the noun meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word advertizement comes from Latin parts ad- meaning 'to' and vertere meaning 'turn', and you can see the same idea in advertise and advert. So, an advertizement is something that 'turns' people's attention toward a product, service, or event, which is why it is a public notice or announcement.
