Morphology
necessitation = necessitate (transparent) = necessitate + ation
Formed by the verb 'necessitate' plus the nominalizing suffix '-ation'; the meaning 'the act or process of making necessary' is directly predictable.
Etymology
The word necessitation comes from the Latin root necess- meaning 'need' or 'necessary' and the ending -ation meaning 'act' or 'process'. So necessitation is literally the 'act of making something needed', which explains why it means making something necessary or required.
