Morphology

impartation = impart (transparent) = impart + ation

A straightforward nominalization of the verb 'impart' with '-ation', meaning 'the act or process of imparting'.

Etymology

The word impartation comes from impart, which has the parts im- ('into') and part ('a piece' or 'share'). So an impartation is like giving someone a 'part' of your knowledge or skill — passing it into them or passing it on.
