Morphology

eventuation = eventuate (semi-transparent) = event + uate + ion

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ion' to the verb 'eventuate', a regular and predictable nominalization.

Etymology

Eventuation comes from the same root as event and the Latin eventus, which means 'outcome', and from a verb like venire meaning 'to come'. So, eventuation is the 'coming about' or result of something, which is why it means the act or result of something happening.
