Morphology

ejaculation = ejaculate (transparent) = ejaculate + ion

A straightforward nominalization: 'ejaculate' (verb) + '-ion' forms the action/noun 'ejaculation', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Ejaculation comes from old Latin parts meaning 'out' and 'to throw', shown in e- and jacere. So think of the word eject to remember it: medically it means a quick 'throwing out' of semen or fluid from the body during orgasm.
