Correct spelling

occasion

Correct spelling, explanation: occasion is the correct form because it originates in Latin occasionem, which is also spelled with double c and one s. Due to the Latin origin, there is no -tion ending, so ocation is incorrect; it’s also lacking double c. Therefore occasion is the correct spelling.

noun, certain time or event; special event

On the occasion of her promotion, she treated herself with new shoes.

Incorrect spelling

ocation

Incorrect spelling, explanation: ocation is a wrong form because we don’t use -tion noun ending here; the word occasion is originally Latin (occasionem), and the double c and one s spelling remained in the English version. Thus occasion is the only possibility here.
