Morphology
compensation = compensate (transparent) = compensate + ion
Standard noun formation from the verb 'compensate' denoting the act or thing of making up for loss or payment; the monetary meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Compensation comes from com- ('with') and pens- ('weigh' or 'pay'), the same part you see in expense, so you can think of it as a 'payment'. That's why compensation today means money or something given to 'make up' for loss or work.
