Morphology
tradition = tradit + ion
The core form 'tradit-' is not a recognizable modern English base, so although '-ion' is a noun-former, learners cannot reliably derive the meaning of 'tradition' from its parts.
Etymology
Tradition comes from the Latin tradere, which means 'to hand over'. Think of a tradition as something people 'hand down' from older to younger, which is why it means a custom or belief that lasts over time.
