When we add the suffix "-ion" to a word ending in "-e", we often drop the "e" before adding the suffix.
Here are some examples:
* decide + -ion = decision
* create + -ion = creation
* relate + -ion = relation
* define + -ion = definition
* unite + -ion = union
However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, "argue" becomes "argument" (not "arguion") and "change" becomes "change" (not "changen").
It's important to check a dictionary if you're unsure about the spelling of a particular word.
