The geological process by which rocks are transformed into granite or granite-like rock through heat, pressure, and mineral alteration.
From 'granite' plus the suffix '-fication' (the process of becoming), meaning 'the process of becoming granite' or transformation into granitic material.
This process takes millions of years and happens deep underground where extreme heat and pressure literally squeeze rock into existence—it's slow-motion alchemy!
