citation

📜⚖️ citación = cita (quote/appointment) + -ción; a quote or a court call-up

Spanish cita means both a quote and an appointment, and citación is the noun built on it. Whether you are quoting a source or being called to appear in court, someone is naming you or your words. The ending -ción matches English -tion, so citación looks like citation.
