Morphology

enablement = enable (transparent) = en + able + ment

This is the standard and highly regular noun formation from 'enable' with '-ment'.

Enablement comes from the parts en- meaning 'make' and able meaning 'able', the same root as ability. So, enablement is the process of 'making something possible' or easier to do, which is why it means helping people or systems achieve a goal.
