the process of converting a mixture, as of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, into methane
Word origin
[1955–60; methane + -ation]This word is first recorded in the period 1955–60. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: cassette, new wave, opioid, rollout, software-ation is used to form nouns from stems ending in -ate (separation) and, on this model, to form nouns from stems of other origin (starvation). Other words that use the affix -ation include: capitalization, complementation, reservation, sensitization, transportation
