Morphology
expatriation = expatriate (semi-transparent) = ex + patri + ation
The transformation from 'expatriate' to 'expatriation' is a standard noun formation indicating the act or process.
Etymology
Expatriation comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out of' and patria 'native land'. The same root is in patriot, and because expatriation literally means going 'out of your country', it is used when someone chooses to leave their home to live in another country.
