Morphology
invalidation = invalidate (transparent) = in + valid + ate + ion
This is a standard and fully predictable nominalization of the verb 'invalidate' with '-ion'.
Etymology
Invalidation comes from the parts in- meaning 'not' and valid meaning 'legally acceptable' or 'true'. So invalidation is the official act of making something 'not valid', for example ending a will, a contract, or an election result.
