Morphology
communication = communicate (transparent) = communicate + ion

Etymology
The word communication comes from the Latin communicare, which means 'to share', and commune, meaning 'common'. So to communicate is to make ideas, information, or feelings 'common' between people — in other words, to share them clearly.
