Morphology
sentiment = sent + ment
Although built from the Latin combining form 'sent-' (feel/think) + '-ment', the root is not a productive standalone English morpheme, so the specific sense 'opinion/attitude' is not transparently recoverable by learners from the pieces.
Etymology
Sentiment comes from the Latin root sentire, which means 'to feel'. So a sentiment can mean an opinion or attitude — a view you 'feel' even when you do not have definite proof.
