Morphology
underestimation = underestimate (transparent) = under + estimate + ation
Standard nominalization of the verb 'underestimate' with '-ation' yields the action or result; the meaning is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word underestimation breaks into under- meaning 'below' and estimate meaning 'a guess of value'. So an underestimation is a guess that is too small, which is why it is lower than the real amount.
