The word is constipation. It comes from the Latin word stipare, which means to press, cram or stuff. It also has the prefix con- meaning together so constiparemeant to press, cram or stuff together. The past form of this word was constipatus from which our word constipate, later constipated, is derived.

The suffix -ion turns a verb ending in a t sound into a noun, as dictate is turned into dictation, germinate is turned into germination, act is turned into action, and so on. So constipate is turned into constipation.

"Pation" doesn't mean anything--it is a misdivision of the word. It's like asking what the "pymeal" in "happymeal" means.
