Morphology
infringement = infringe (transparent) = infringe + ment
Formed by the regular nominalizing suffix '-ment' from the verb 'infringe', yielding 'the act or result of infringing'; this verb-to-noun relation is straightforward for learners even though 'infringe' itself is not analyzable as 'in-' + 'fringe'.
Etymology
Infringement comes from Latin parts in- and fringere, where fringere means 'to break' and you can see the same idea in the English word fracture. So an infringement is a 'breaking' of a law, rule, or someone's rights.
