Morphology
recognition = recognize (semi-transparent) = recognit + ion
The noun 'recognition' is related to 'recognize', but the spelling change and Latin root make the connection less obvious to learners.
Etymology
Recognition comes from parts that mean 'again' (re-) and 'to know' (cognoscere), the same root as cognition and the English word 'know'. So to give recognition to a policy or fact is to officially accept or 'know' it as true.
