The process of becoming or developing into epidermis, or the formation of new epidermal tissue; similar to epidermidalization but using a simpler root form.
From epiderm plus '-ize' plus '-ation,' a shortened variant of epidermidalization that achieves the same meaning with fewer syllables, preferred in modern scientific literature for clarity and brevity.
Both epidermidalization and epidermization describe the same healing process, but epidermization is shorter and easier to say—this is why scientists gradually adopt simpler forms, much like how 'phone' replaced 'telephone' in everyday speech!
