Morphology

transplacement = placement (transparent) = trans + place + ment

The meaning 'moving something from one place to another' follows directly from 'trans-' (across/movement) + 'placement'.

Etymology

Transplacement comes from trans- ('across') plus placement from place ('put'), similar to words like transport or transfer. It suggests moving something across to a new spot, so it means the act of moving something from one place to another.
