Morphology

management = manage (transparent) = manage + ment

Standard nominalization from 'manage' indicating the act or process; meaning is directly predictable from the base and suffix.

Etymology

Management comes from the Latin manus meaning 'hand' and the verb manage, which means 'to handle' or 'take care of' something. So, management (the act or process) is the 'handling' and organizing of work.
