Morphology
reticulation = reticulate (transparent) = reticulate + ion
A regular nominalization from the verb 'reticulate' with '-ion', so the meaning 'a net-like pattern' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word reticulation comes from the Latin reticulum 'little net', so it names a pattern that looks like a small net or web, like the veins in a leaf or the decorative beams on a ceiling.
