A commemoration is the thing you hold or make so that people remember and respect someone important, or an important day in the past. It can be a ceremony, a service, a monument, or a special event. It is the noun that sits next to commemorate: one is the doing, the other is the occasion or the marker. The word often sounds formal, the kind you see on an invitation or a plaque. Though actually, people also use it for the feeling of marking the day, not only for one official programme.
紀念活動；紀念儀式
組成From Latin commemorātiō, through Old French commemoration. By the look of the English word: commemorate + -ion (the act or the occasion). First found in English in the late 1300s.
