Morphology

enrichment = enrich (transparent) = en + rich + ment

The noun is formed by adding '-ment' to 'enrich', denoting the result or product of enriching (here a donation that makes someone richer).

Etymology

The word enrichment comes from en- 'to make' and rich 'full of money or value', the same rich you know. So an enrichment can be a gift or donation that makes someone richer in money or resources.
