Morphology
enhancement = enhance (transparent) = en + hance + ment
Regular nominalization of the verb 'enhance' with the productive suffix '-ment', so the noun meaning 'an improvement' is directly derived.
Etymology
Enhancement comes from the prefix en- meaning 'make' and an old root that meant 'high', like the English word high. So an enhancement is something that 'raises' or improves the quality or value of another thing.
