Morphology
cerebration = cerebrate (semi-transparent) = cerebr + ation
Formed from the verb 'cerebrate' + the nominalizing suffix '-ation', but the combining form 'cerebr-' is Latinate and unfamiliar to many learners.
Etymology
Cerebration comes from the Latin word cerebrum, which means 'brain'. So cerebration is like 'brain-action' or careful thinking, which is why it means the process of using the mind to think deeply.
