Morphology
lactation = lactate (semi-transparent) = lact + ation
Formed regularly from the verb 'lactate' + '-ation', but the root 'lact-' and the verb 'lactate' are not common standalone words for many learners.
Etymology
Lactation comes from the root lact-, which means 'milk' and appears in words like lactose and lactic. So lactation is the time when a mother makes and gives 'milk' to her young.
