Morphology

fusion = fuse (transparent) = fuse + ion

Regular noun formation from the verb 'fuse' with the suffix '-ion', meaning 'the act or result of fusing'.

Etymology

The word fusion comes from the Latin fundere 'to pour' and is related to the English verb fuse. Think of pouring two sauces into one pot to make a single new dish, so a fusion of styles or ideas is a joining into one.
