precipitation
/pɹɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃən/
nounpre · cip · i · ta · tion
Think: “PRE-CIP-I-TA-TION” — you “sip” (CIP) before you “take” (TA) action (TION) when the weather starts falling.
Yes, it's precipitation. Watch the middle: it’s pre + cip + i + ta + tion (…cipi…); don’t swap it to “...citi...” or drop the second “i.”
