Morphology
stipulation = stipulate (semi-transparent) = stipulat + ion
Formationally clear from 'stipulate' + '-ion', but the specialized legal sense (a formal agreement accepted by a court) is an institutional extension that some learners may not infer.
Etymology
The word stipulation comes from a Latin word for a formal 'promise' or 'agreement' and is the same root as stipulate. That's why in law a stipulation is a fact or procedure both sides have agreed to and the court accepts.
