Morphology

vection = vect + ion

Formed from the Latin combining form 'vect-' + the nominalizing suffix '-ion'; the root is not a standalone English word and the meaning is archaic, so learners cannot reliably derive the sense 'act of carrying' from its parts.

Etymology

The word vection comes from the Latin root veh- meaning 'to carry', the same root you see in vehicle, so it originally named the act of carrying or moving something from one place to another.
