Morphology
discontinuation = discontinue (transparent) = dis + continu + ation
This is a regular noun formation from 'discontinue', meaning the act or process of stopping something.
Etymology
Discontinuation is made from dis- meaning 'not' or 'away', the word continue meaning 'to keep going', and the ending -ation which makes a noun. So, discontinuation means the act of stopping or ending something.
