The process or condition of becoming white or pale; the state of whitening or bleaching.
From Latin albicare 'to become white' plus the suffix -tion indicating a process or action. This forms a noun describing the act or result of whitening.
Albication is a rare but perfect example of how Latin scientific terminology lets us describe specific processes with precision—there's no common English word that captures this exact idea of gradual whitening!
