assimilation = assimilate (transparent) = assimilate + ion
Standard nominalization from 'assimilate'; the cognitive sense 'incorporating new information into existing frameworks' derives directly from 'integrate/absorb'.
Etymology
Assimilation comes from an old Latin verb made of ad- 'to' and similis 'similar', like the English word similar. In thinking, it means fitting new ideas into what you already know, making the new ideas more like your existing ideas so they make sense.
