Morphology
remuneration = remunerate (semi-transparent) = re + muner + ation
The transformation from 'remunerate' to 'remuneration' is clear, but the base 'remunerate' itself is not fully transparent due to the obscure root 'muner'.
Etymology
Remuneration comes from Latin parts re- meaning 'back' and munus meaning 'gift' or 'service'. So it is like 'giving a gift back' for someone's work, which is why it means money or other payment for services.
