Morphology
consummation = consummate (transparent) = consummate + ion
A straightforward nominalization: 'consummate' (to complete) + '-ion' yields 'consummation' meaning the act of completing.
Etymology
Consummation comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and summus 'highest', like in sum or summit. So a consummation is the final, highest moment when a plan or project is finished and complete.
