Morphology

remittal = remit (transparent) = remit + al

Formed by the verb 'remit' (to send money) plus the productive nominalising suffix '-al'; the payment sense is directly derived and obvious to learners who know 'remit'.

Etymology

Remittal comes from the Latin parts re- 'back' and mittere 'to send', the same root you see in remittance and transmit. Think of it as 'sending money back' to someone far away, so a remittal is the act of sending a payment to another place.
