Morphology
cessation = cease (transparent) = cess + ation
Standard noun formation from the verb 'cease' with the suffix '-ation' yields 'act or process of ceasing'; the spelling alternation (cease → cess-) is regular and does not obscure the relation.
Etymology
Cessation comes from the root cess-, the same root as the common word cease, which means 'to stop'. So a cessation is a 'stopping' or end, which is why we use it for the end of fighting, noise, or a habit.
