Morphology

envisionment = envision (transparent) = envision + ment

A regular noun is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ment' to the verb 'envision', yielding the act or result of envisioning, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word envisionment comes from en- and vision, where vision means 'seeing'. So an envisionment is a 'mental picture' or plan you make of the future.
