Morphology

enumeration = enumerate (transparent) = enumerate + ion

Formed by the regular nominalization of the verb 'enumerate' with '-ion', giving 'the act or result of enumerating', which is directly predictable.

Etymology

Enumeration comes from Latin parts e- 'out' and numerare 'to count', and it shares the same root as number. So an enumeration is literally a 'counting out' or list of items one by one, which is why it means the act of counting or the list itself.
