Brit.

/ᵻkˈspɛkʃn/,

/ɛkˈspɛkʃn/, U.S.

/ɛkˈspɛkʃən/,

/ᵻkˈspɛkʃən/

Forms: 1500s expeccion, 1500s– expection.

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Probably also partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: expectation n.; expect v., -ion suffix¹.

Etymology: In early use (in quot. 1532) apparently an alteration of expectation n., after inspection n., suspection n., etc.; compare slightly later expect v. In later use probably partly irregularly < expect v. + -ion suffix¹, after the above-mentioned models, and partly a typographical error for expectation n.

Now rare.

= expectation n. (in various senses).Some later examples may represent a typographical error for expectation: see etymology.
