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), like cognition and the word 'know'. So a sudden recognition is a moment when you finally 'know' or understand something clearly.
