Morphology
regurgitation = regurgitate (semi-transparent) = regurgitate + ion
The noun is formed from a figurative use of the verb 'regurgitate' (to bring up again) meaning 'repeat mechanically', so the connection is recognizable but involves a metaphorical shift.
Etymology
Regurgitation also means repeating something exactly without thought, and the word comes from re- 'back' and the same root as gurgle, giving the idea of 'spitting back' what you were given. So to regurgitate information is to throw words back unchanged, not to explain them in your own way.
