Etymology

Borrowed from English -ation, from Latin -ātiō. Doublet of -esyen, -sen, -asi, -si, and -syen

Usage notes

In newer adaptations of English loanwords ending in -ation, alongside with -esyen, this is now replaced by -asi in an effort to make the ending of words of this kind uniform with its Dutch-derived counterparts in Indonesian (compare imigresen for immigration and implementasi for implementation).
