Morphology

unification = unify (transparent) = unify + ation

The noun 'unification' is transparently derived from the verb 'unify' by adding the suffix '-ation', indicating the process or act.

Etymology

The word unification comes from two parts: uni- 'one' and a part that means 'to make', and it shares the same root as unit and unite. So, unification means bringing separate things or people together to make them into one whole.
