• IPA^(key): /ɪˈkeɪʃən/

-ication

1. Alternative form of -ification.

• Although most derivates come from base verbs ending in -y, not all end in -fy, either actual etymology or through surface analysis. Notable exceptions are application (from apply), Californication (from California), and mesophication (from mesophyte). Compare -ification, -cation and -faction.
