Morphology

stockage = stock (transparent) = stock + age

Clear derivation from the verb 'stock' plus the nominalizing suffix '-age', meaning the action or result of stocking (storing).

Etymology

Stockage meaning the storing of goods comes from the same root as stock, the word for things you keep. Think of a shop 'stocking' its shelves with items to keep for later, and you remember stockage is the action of storing or the amount kept in reserve.
