Morphology
communication = communicate (transparent) = communicate + ion
The noun is a regular nominalization of the verb; the 'message/result' sense is a straightforward derived meaning (communication = something communicated).
Etymology
The word communication comes from the Latin communicare, 'to share', so a single communication is simply something shared — a message or piece of information sent from one person or group to another.
