Morphology

advisement = advise (transparent) = advise + ment

Standard nominalization from the verb 'advise' with '-ment'; meaning 'the act or process of advising' is directly derived from the base.

Etymology

Advisement comes from the same root as advise, which originally meant 'to look at' or 'consider'. So, advisement is the careful thought or consideration you give before making a decision.
