-tion. World English Historical Dictionary Dictionary Biographies Literary Criticism Welcome Terms of Service ⧏ Previous Next ⧐ Contents Slice Contents Key Bibliographic Record Murray’s New English Dictionary. 1916, rev. 2022. -tion a compound suffix, representing, often through Fr. -tion, OF. -cion, ME. -cio(u)n, L. -tio, -tiōn-em, consisting of -io, -ion-em added to the -t of a L. participial stem, as in rela-t-ion, comple-t-ion, frui-t-ion, muni-t-ion, protec-t-ion, deten-t-ion, op-t-ion: see -ATION and -ION. Rarer forms are -sion, -xion, as suspen-s-ion, infle-x-ion. The etymological meaning was primarily ‘the state or condition of being (what the pa. pple. imports),’ e.g., the condition of being related, completed, protected, detained, suspended, inflected, etc. But already in L. -tio was used for the action or process of relating, completing, suspending, etc., and also concretely or quasi-concretely, as in dictio, the condition of being said, the saying of something, a saying, a word; so nātio birth, a brood, a nation; ōrātio mode of speaking, an oration. In Eng. the most usual sense is that of a noun of action, equivalent to the native ending -ING1, and having also the kindred uses mentioned under that suffix.
