Lazione

Lazione is a rarely attested Italian noun. In contemporary usage, the term is not widely used and is absent from most dictionaries. When it does appear, it is typically in historical, legal, or technical contexts and may denote the action of binding, tying, or forming a linkage, either physical or metaphorical.

Etymology: The form is generally thought to derive from laccio (a clasp or tether) with the suffix -azione, though its precise historical development is not well documented and some sources treat it as archaism or a lexical anomaly.

Usage: In crafts and textiles, lazione could indicate the act of lacing or fastening parts together. In legal or diplomatic language, it could be used metaphorically to describe the creation of ties or alliances. In historical writing, it may refer to binding obligations or contractual ties.

Examples: La lazione delle corde richiedeva strumenti specifici. L'atto di lazione tra le parti vincolò l'accordo per cinque anni.

See also: laccio, legame, legazione, ligazione.

Notes: The term’s rarity means usage should be verified in context; it may reflect an obscure or archaic form or a frequent misspelling or confusion with ligazione (ligation) in scientific terminology. If a particular field uses lazione with a specialized sense, consulting field-specific sources is recommended.
