Morphology
homologation = homologate (semi-transparent) = homolog + ation
Morphologically a regular nominalization from 'homologate', but the sense 'official approval/certification' is specialized jargon and not derivable from the morphemes by general learners.
Etymology
Homologation comes from the Greek prefix homo- meaning 'same' and a root seen in homologous that means to agree. So in law and industry it means an official 'agreement' that a product or vehicle meets the same rules — in short, a formal approval or certification.
