Morphology

annexure = annex (semi-transparent) = annex + ure

The meaning 'an attached document or appendix' is fairly inferable from 'annex', but the specialized noun form is not fully obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Annexure comes from the word annex, from an old Latin word meaning 'attach' or 'add on'. A helpful way to remember is to think of an annexure as a paper 'added on' to a main document, so it gives extra information.
