Morphology
promulgation = promulgate (transparent) = promulgate + ion
Standard noun formation from the verb 'promulgate' by adding '-ion'; the meaning 'the act of officially announcing' is directly derived from the verb.
Etymology
The word promulgation comes from Latin parts pro- meaning 'forth' and vulgare meaning 'to make common', from vulgus 'the people'. So, promulgation is about making a law known to everyone, which is why it means the official public announcement of a new law.
