The process of becoming more basic or alkaline, or the chemical process of converting a substance into a base.
From 'basify' (to make basic) plus the noun suffix '-ation.' The term developed in chemistry as scientists needed words to describe pH changes and chemical processes.
In chemistry, 'basification' is the opposite of acidification—it describes what happens when something becomes more alkaline, which is crucial in everything from industrial processes to understanding soil chemistry in agriculture.
