Morphology
vegetation = vegetate (transparent) = veget + ation
The noun is a regular nominalization of the verb 'vegetate' meaning plant growth or plant life, so its meaning 'plant life in an area' is directly derived.
Etymology
Vegetation comes from the Latin verb vegetare which means 'to make lively', and it shares the same root as vegetable. So vegetation describes the living plants that make a place look alive.
