Morphology
distribution = distribute (transparent) = distribute + ion
Formed by the verb 'distribute' + the noun-forming suffix '-ion'; meaning is directly the act/result of distributing.
Etymology
Distribution comes from the parts dis- 'apart' and tribuere 'to give', the same root you find in contribute, and it gives the image of things being sent out in different places. So, distribution in nature means how plants, animals, or rain are 'given out' across an area.
