From Dutch -atie via Indonesian -asi use following the harmonizing transnational spelling reform of 1972,[1] from Latin -ātiō. Previously, the suffix in words of this kind were adapted and are doublets of -esen (e.g. as in imigresen from immigration) plus -syen and -esyen (e.g. as in televisyen from television – obsolete form: talivishen – and konvokesyen from convocation). Also doublet of -si.
