Morphology

itineration = itinerate (semi-transparent) = itiner + ation

Formally derived from the verb 'itinerate' with the nominalizing suffix '-ation', but both base and suffix are low-frequency Latinate forms that many learners may not recognize.

Etymology

Itineration comes from the Latin root iter meaning 'journey' and the verb itinerare meaning 'to travel'. Think of itinerary, a plan for a trip; itineration is the act of traveling from place to place, often for preaching or lecturing.
