Morphology
sentient = sent + ient
The meaning 'able to feel' is directly related to the root 'sent-' (to feel), but the morpheme forms are Latinate and not obviously decomposable for an average learner, so the relation is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Sentient comes from the Latin word sentire, which means 'to feel' or 'to sense', and it shares this root with familiar words like sense and sensation. So to be sentient is to be able to feel or notice things.
