Morphology
substantiation = substantiate (transparent) = substantiate + ion
A regular noun formed from the verb 'substantiate' with the productive suffix '-ion'; the meaning is directly 'the act/result of substantiating'.
Etymology
Substantiation comes from the same word as substance, made from sub- 'under' and stare 'to stand', meaning something that 'stands under' and gives weight. So substantiation is the proof or evidence that makes a claim 'stand' and seem real.
