Morphology
collaboration = collaborate (transparent) = col + labor + ation
The noun is directly formed from the verb 'collaborate' with the common nominalizing suffix '-ation' and retains the straightforward meaning of working together.
Etymology
Collaboration comes from the parts col- meaning 'with' and labor meaning 'work', the same labor in the word laborer. So collaboration is literally 'working with' others to reach a common goal.
