Morphology

jugulation = jugulate (semi-transparent) = jugulate + ion

This sense is a figurative or extended use of the verb's sense of 'cutting off' to mean decisive stopping of a hemorrhage or disease, so the relation is inferable but not strictly literal.

Etymology

Jugulation comes from the Latin root jugulum 'throat' and the related word jugular, and a helpful way to remember the medical sense is to think of 'cutting off' the source of the problem. So the word came to mean stopping bleeding or an infection quickly, as if you cut off the flow at its source.
