Morphology
sentiment = sent + ment
Although built from the Latin combining form 'sent-' (feel) + the noun-forming suffix '-ment', 'sent' is not a standalone modern English word meaning 'feel', so learners cannot reliably derive the meaning from its parts.
Etymology
Sentiment comes from the Latin root sentire, which means 'to feel' and is the source of English words like sense and sensation. So a sentiment is a feeling, such as a tender, romantic, or nostalgic one.
