Morphology
tutelage = tutel + age
Although the word ends in the productive suffix -age, the stem tutel- is not a recognizable English base for most learners, so the meaning is not predictable from the parts.
Etymology
The word tutelage comes from Latin tutela, which meant 'guardianship' and 'protection' and shares its root with tutor. So, tutelage can also mean the personal teaching or close guidance you get from a tutor.
