Morphology

production = produce (semi-transparent) = produce + tion

The noun is clearly related to 'produce', but the countable result sense 'an item or work produced' is not the most basic meaning of '-tion' for learners.

Etymology

Production comes from Latin pro- 'forth' and ducere 'to lead', and is like the word product. It suggests something 'brought forth' by a person or factory, so a production can be an item or creative work that was made.
