Alkalization

/ælkəlaɪˈzeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The process or result of treating a substance with alkali to make it alkaline.

Etymology

From alkalize + -tion suffix (from Latin -tio, indicating a process or state). The -tion suffix is the standard way English converts verbs into abstract nouns describing processes.

Kelly Says

The -tion suffix is English's favorite way to turn actions into nouns you can study and measure. 'Alkalization' transforms a verb into a scientific concept that researchers can measure and control!
