Caustification

/ˌkɔːstɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The process of making something caustic or converting something into a caustic substance; a technical term in chemistry and manufacturing.

Etymology

From caustic or Latin causa with the suffix -fication (making or producing). This follows Latin-derived patterns for naming chemical processes.

Kelly Says

Caustification is an ultra-technical term used in specific industrial contexts—it's the kind of word where if you don't work with it daily, you'll never need it, but if you do, it's absolutely indispensable for precision communication.
