Morphology
participation = participate (transparent) = particip + ation
The noun 'participation' is transparently derived from the verb 'participate' by adding the suffix '-ation', indicating the act or process of participating.
Etymology
The word participation comes from the Latin participare, made of parts meaning 'part' and 'to take', and you can see the idea in the common word part. So participation means 'sharing in' or 'taking part' in an activity with other people.
