the act of analyzing
Etymology
'analysation' originates from English, formed by adding the suffix '-ation' to the verb 'analyse', which itself comes from the French 'analyser', from Greek 'analusis' meaning 'a breaking up'.
'analysation' was formed in English by analogy with other '-ation' nouns, but 'analysis' remains the standard noun. 'Analyse' comes from French 'analyser', from Greek 'analusis'.
Initially, it was intended to mean 'the act of analyzing', but 'analysis' is the standard term, and 'analysation' is now rare and nonstandard.
