Morphology

enframement = enframe (transparent) = en + frame + ment

Formed by en- + frame (verb) + -ment; the noun denotes the act/result of framing, which learners can derive from its parts.

Etymology

Enframement comes from the parts en- ('in' or 'make'), the everyday word frame, and -ment ('the act or result'). A helpful image is a picture where you choose a frame to show only the part you want people to see, and that is why enframement means arranging information so people understand it in a certain way.
