cancelation

/ˌkæn.səˈleɪ.ʃən/

nouncan · cel · a · tion

Think: CAN + CEL + A + TION — “You CAN CELl it off,” then add “-ation.”

Yes, it's cancelation. The tricky part is the ending: in American spelling, both “cancelation” and “cancellation” appear, but “cancellation” is more common; if you use “cancelation,” it has one “l” after the “e.”

Definitions

  1. nounthe act of canceling something; the decision or process of stopping an event, plan, or service
  2. nounthe act of crossing out or removing something (such as a mark or a debt)

Examples

  • “The airline emailed a notice about the flight cancelation due to storms.”
  • “Please call the office to confirm the appointment cancelation.”
  • “The editor marked the cancelation of the repeated sentence in the draft.”
