The process of becoming cement or cement-like; the transformation of material into a solid, bonded structure.
From Latin caementum with suffix -ification meaning the process of becoming. A more technical term than cementation, used in geology and materials science.
Geologists use this word to describe how loose sediment at the bottom of the ocean eventually becomes solid rock over millions of years—basically, the whole planet is one big cementification project.
