(deprecated template usage) 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.
Suffix
-ification
- The process of becoming.
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.
