Morphology
corroboration = corroborate (transparent) = corroborate + ion
The noun is a regular nominalization of the verb 'corroborate' using the productive suffix '-ion', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Corroboration comes from an old Latin word roborare meaning 'to make strong' and from robur meaning 'oak' or 'strength', the same root you see in robust, so you can imagine making an idea as strong as an oak. So, corroboration is evidence that 'strengthens' or confirms a statement.
