Morphology
rejection = reject (transparent) = re + ject + ion
This is a regular action/result noun built from the verb 'reject'.
Etymology
Rejection comes from Latin parts re- meaning 'back' and -ject meaning 'to throw', the same -ject in words like eject and project. So to reject an idea or a person is like 'throwing it back'—refusing to accept or agree with it.
