Morphology
adjudication = adjudicate (transparent) = ad + judic + ation
Standard noun formation from the verb 'adjudicate' using the common suffix '-ation', so the meaning is directly derived from the verb.
Etymology
Adjudication comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and judic- 'judge', the same root as the English words judge and judgment. It originally meant 'to bring to a judge', so an adjudication is an official decision given by a judge or a court.
