From the word’s history
From Middle English publicacioun, from Old French publicacion, from Latin pūblicātiō; public + -ation.
源自古法文 publicacion，來自拉丁文 pūblicātiō。
Taking something private and putting it where everybody can see it. Picture a manuscript that has sat in a drawer: it goes to the printer, comes back as boxes of books, and the boxes go out to the shops. That release — the moment it stops being yours and becomes everyone's to read — is publication. The thing that comes out the other end also takes the name.
