Morphology
articulation = articulate (transparent) = articulate + ion
The noun 'articulation' is transparently derived from the verb 'articulate' by adding the suffix '-ion', indicating the act or process.
Etymology
Articulation comes from the Latin articulare ('to join') and articulus ('little joint'), and people used the same idea for speech by seeing the tongue, lips and teeth as small joints working together, so articulation in speaking is the joining of mouth parts to make clear sounds.
