Same family: articulation, articulated, articulating, articular, joint. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: “Articulate” comes from the Latin word *articulare*, meaning “to divide into joints” or “to speak distinctly.” The same root appears in “article,” which originally referred to a small, separate part—much like the segments of a jointed body.
