🙋‍♀️🤝 par-ti-ci-pa-ción = take PART in it; Latin pars + capere (take a part)

From Latin particeps, 'part-taker': pars (part) + capere (to take). Participar means to take your part in something, and participación is the act of taking that part. Same root as English participation, so the -ción ending matches -tion.
