Morphology
distribution = distribute (transparent) = distribute + ion
Derived from 'distribute' + '-ion'; here the sense is the commercial/process sense of supplying goods, directly predictable from the verb.
Etymology
Distribution comes from the parts dis- 'apart' and tribuere 'to give', like in contribute, and it helps to think of goods being 'given out' from a factory to different shops. That's why distribution in business means the process of supplying or moving products to customers.
