In grammar a variation refers to a change in the word by adding elements to it or omitting them, this means a word shares common features with other including a similar combination of letters and pronunciation but might differ slightly in meaning. In this way, if a word is a variation of other it usually belongs to the same word family which means they share a common origin and base. To determine whether a word is the variation of another it is necessary to consider whether these words are written or pronoun similarly and whether their meaning is connected. Considering this the word "Pronunciation" is a variation of the word "Pronounce" as both are written similarly sharing the first letters and have a similar meaning as pronounce means to say a word and pronunciation means the correct way of saying the words in a language. These common features show both words are connected and therefore one is the variation of the other.
