Definition
The act of canceling or the state of being canceled; the termination of a contract, subscription, or planned event.
Etymology
From cancel plus -ation suffix creating a noun. American spelling; British prefers 'cancellation' with double-l, reflecting different suffix-doubling rules.
Kelly Says
American and British English treat doubled consonants differently—'cancelation' vs 'cancellation' shows how spelling rules diverged when the countries split, and both sides stick to their rules!
