Morphology
replenishment = replenish (semi-transparent) = re + plenish + ment
Formation of the noun from the verb 'replenish' using the productive suffix '-ment' is a regular and clear derivation.
Etymology
Replenishment comes from re- meaning 'again' and plenus meaning 'full', the same root you see in the English word plenty. So a replenishment is a supply that makes something 'full again', like a refill of water, medicines, or store stock.
