Morphology

creation = create (transparent) = creat + ion

The noun 'creation' is transparently derived from the verb 'create' using the standard suffix '-ion'.

Etymology

Creation comes from the Latin verb creare, which means 'to make' or 'bring forth'. So creation can mean the act or process of making something new, the same idea behind the common verb create.
