comparison
⚖️ comparación = com- (together) + par (equal) + -ación: set side by side as equals
Latin com- means together and par means equal, like par in golf or a pair. To make a comparación is to put two things together and check whether they are equals. The suffix -ación turns the action into a noun, just like English -ation.
