Morphology

management = manage (transparent) = manage + ment

Standard nominalization from the verb 'manage' with '-ment'; the organizational sense ('the group of people responsible for directing') is a common, predictable extension.

Etymology

Management comes from the old Latin word manus meaning 'hand' and from the verb manage, which used to mean 'to handle' or 'control'. So, management (the people in charge) are the ones who 'handle' and guide a company.
