Morphology
resuscitation = resuscitate (semi-transparent) = re + suscit + ation
The suffix '-ation' forms a noun from the verb 'resuscitate', which is not commonly recognized as a standalone word.
Etymology
The word resuscitation comes from the Latin parts re- and suscitare, where re- means 'again' and suscitare means 'to wake or raise up'. So, resuscitation is about waking or raising someone 'again', which is why it means bringing a person back from unconsciousness or apparent death.
