Morphology
disentanglement = disentangle (transparent) = dis + en + tangle + ment
The noun is a standard and easily interpretable -ment formation meaning the act or process of disentangling.
Etymology
Disentanglement comes from dis- meaning 'undo' and entangle meaning 'to twist together', with -ment for 'the action'. So it means the action of undoing a tangle, like carefully untying knotted cables or nets.
