Morphology
exclusion = exclude (semi-transparent) = ex + clus + ion
The noun is a regular nominalization of 'exclude', but the spelling and pronunciation shift from 'exclude' to 'exclusion' makes the connection slightly less obvious.
Etymology
Exclusion comes from the parts ex- meaning 'out' and cludere meaning 'to shut', the same root behind the word close. So, exclusion is like 'shutting out' someone or something, which is why it means being left out.
