Morphology

concatenation = concatenate (transparent) = concatenate + ion

Standard noun formation from the verb 'concatenate' by adding '-ion'; the noun means 'the act or result of linking together', which is directly derived.

Etymology

Concatenation comes from Latin parts con- ('together') and catena ('chain'), so it originally meant things linked like a chain. That's why concatenation means a series or line of events or ideas connected one after another.
