Surface Forms

promotion singular

Morphology

promotion = promote (transparent) = promote + ion

The noun is formed by adding the productive nominal suffix '-ion' to the verb 'promote', directly naming the act of encouraging or supporting.

Etymology

Promotion comes from the Latin parts pro- 'forward' and movere 'to move', so to promote something is to 'move it forward' — for example, helping a project grow or be accepted.
