Etymology
From Middle English -ificacioun (ending on words generally borrowed whole from Old French), from Old French -ification, in turn from Latin -ficātiō, a noun ending related to the supine ending -ficātum of first-conjugation verbs ending in -ficō (English -ify), derived from compounding with faciō.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/
- Rhymes: -eɪʃən
Usage notes
Occurs in words of French or Latin origin, but also productive, instead of expected *-ifation, from -ify (“become”) + -ation (“process of”); compare -ability.
