Morphology

evolvement = evolve (transparent) = evolve + ment

Standard noun formation from the verb 'evolve' with the suffix '-ment' indicating the process or result of evolving.

Etymology

Evolvement comes from evolve, which comes from Latin evolvere meaning 'to unroll', with e- meaning 'out' and volvere meaning 'to roll'. So, picture a map slowly unrolling to show new places — evolvement is the slow process of developing or changing into a more advanced form.
