What is a suffix which means process or result of?

The suffix -ation typically means process or result of.

Here are some examples:

* Formation: the process of forming something

* Vaccination: the process of vaccinating someone

* Evaporation: the process of evaporating

* Liberation: the act of liberating someone or something

* Adaptation: the process of adapting to a new environment

Other suffixes can also indicate process or result, but they might have slightly different nuances:

* -ment: often used for the result of an action, like development or achievement.

* -ing: indicates an ongoing process, like learning or writing.

* -ure: can also denote the result, like exposure or failure.

The specific choice of suffix depends on the specific word and its meaning.
