Noun

IPA: /kənˈtɹækʃn̩/ [Received-Pronunciation], /kɒn-/ [Received-Pronunciation], /kənˈtɹækʃ(ə)n/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-contraction.wav [Southern-England] Forms: contractions [plural]
Rhymes: -ækʃən Etymology: PIE word *ḱóm From Late Middle English contraccioun, contraxion (“spasm, contraction; constriction, shrinking; act of pressing together”), from Old French contraction (modern French contraction), from Latin contractiōnem, the accusative singular of contractiō (“a drawing together, contraction; abridgement, shortening; dejection, despondency”), from contrahō (“to draw things together, assemble, collect, gather; to enter into a contract”) + -tiō (suffix forming nouns relating to actions or their results); contrahō is derived from con- (prefix denoting a bringing together of objects) + trahō (“to drag, pull”) (probably from Proto-Indo-European *dʰregʰ- (“to drag, pull; to run”)). The English word is analysable as contract + -ion (suffix denoting actions or processes, or their results).

The English word is analysable as contract + -ion (suffix denoting actions or processes, or their results).",
