classification = classify (transparent) = class + ify + ation

In machine learning the noun denotes the task/result of assigning items to classes; this is a direct extension of 'classify'.

Etymology

Classification keeps the root class ('a group') and means giving something a class or label. So in machine learning, classification is the task of putting each input into the right group or label.
