/ˈt͡ʃʲune/

Where it comes from

Inherited from Latin -tiō, -tiōnem, and found in terms inherited from Latin as well those formed before the mid 19th century, but is otherwise no longer productive. Most modern words or neologisms use the borrowed doublets -ție or occasionally -țiune.

suffix -ciuni · -ciune · -ciunea · -ciunile

feminine, idiomatic, morpheme roughly equivalent to -tion; was used to form a noun when added to a verb root, describing that action or state related to the verb (also used with adjective roots sometimes) a înșela (“to deceive”) + -ciune → înșelăciune (“fraud”)

In English

-tion producing a noun meaning the action or effect of a verb
