Morphology

fulfillment = fulfill (semi-transparent) = fulfill + ment

Formally derived from 'fulfill' but the commercial sense 'processing and shipping orders' is a specialized extension that may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Fulfillment in business keeps the same idea from full and fill, meaning 'to make full'. So 'order fulfillment' is the process of 'filling' a customer's request: receiving, packing and sending what they bought.
