Morphology

production = product (transparent) = product + ion

The word 'production' is clearly derived from 'product' with the suffix '-ion', indicating the process or result of producing.

Etymology

Production comes from Latin pro- 'forth' and ducere 'to lead', the same root as produce. In computing it means the live system that is 'brought out' to real users, so production is the environment where finished software runs for people.
