relation, from Latin relationem - accusative case of relatio, "bringing back, restoring"
re- = back, again
-lation > from latus "carried, borne" used as suppletive pp. of ferre "to bear" (irregular verb - fero, ferre, tuli, latus)
-ship: Old English -sciepe, Anglian -scip "state, condition of being," from Proto-Germanic. *-skapaz (cf. Old Norse. -skapr, Old Frisian -skip, Dutch -schap, German -schaft), from base *skap- "to create, ordain, appoint." Cognate with O.E. gesceape (see shape).
relation
1390, from Anglo-Fr. relacioun, O.Fr. relacion (14c.), from L. relationem (nom. relatio) "a bringing back, restoring," from relatus (see relate). Meaning "person related by blood or marriage" first attested 1502. Relationship "sense of being related" is from 1744; meaning "an affair, a romantic or sexual relationship" is attested from 1944.

Look it up in a dictionary.
Try www.dictionary.com, or a Websters or an Oxford. A good quality adult dictionary will have the etymology (roots) of a word.
Don't use a student dictionary. They are insults to the intelligence of anyone older than eight!
