The British spelling of 'fragmentation'; the process of breaking into fragments or the state of being broken into pieces.
British variant using '-isation' (the British spelling) instead of the American '-ization'. Both derive from 'fragment' plus the suffix '-ation', which creates nouns describing a process or action. The British variant reflects older French-influenced spelling conventions.
