Print words with matching pattern

I want to print words with matching pattern using grep/sed/awk/etc from file in Linux. I checked grep/sed/awk all prints line, I want only words from file.

Example:

I have file test.txt with following contents:

root@root:~]#cat test.txt
Notification are enabled Notification:445 Mode: valid Bookmark are enabled Bookmarks:556    Mode: Invalid Question are enabled Question:667 Mode: Unknown

Then I want to print only words with matching pattern *tion

Notification

awk -F '[: ]' 'index($1, "tion") {print $1}' test.txt

You can try with GNU grep:

 grep -oE "\w*tion" test.txt
