Morphology

upsetment = upset (transparent) = upset + ment

Regular noun formation from the verb 'upset' with '-ment' indicating the act or result; the physical meaning is literal and predictable.

Etymology

Upsetment comes from the simple parts up and set plus the noun ending -ment, where up suggests a change of position and set means 'to put'; so upsetment is the act of putting something out of place, like a cart turned over and spilling its load. That's why it means the overturning or disturbing of something's position.
