Morphology

embedment = embed (transparent) = em + bed + ment

The noun 'embedment' is clearly derived from the verb 'embed' with the addition of the suffix '-ment'.

Etymology

The word embedment comes from old English parts in- meaning 'in' and bed meaning 'bed', which gives the picture of putting something into the 'inside' of another thing. So, today with computers and documents, embedment means inserting code or media so it appears as part of the page or system.
