numeration = numerate (semi-transparent) = numer + ation
The meaning is clearly related to 'number/count', but the combining form 'numer-' and the less common base 'numerate' make the relation slightly non-obvious to average learners.
Etymology
Numeration comes from an old Latin word numerus, meaning 'number'. It shares the same root as number and numeral, so numeration is simply the act or system of counting or naming numbers.
