Morphology

inclusion = include (transparent) = include + ion

A standard nominalization of 'include' used to refer to a thing that is included; learners can map this to 'include' + '-ion'.

Etymology

Inclusion as a thing comes from in- 'in' and cludere 'to shut', so it literally means a part put 'inside' something. That helps: an inclusion is a part or feature that is added and kept 'inside' another thing, like meals included in a tour price.
