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 articulus, meaning 'little joint', and was used for the place where two parts meet; that's why articulation now means the way parts are joined or connected, like a joint in the body or a machine.
