assimilation = assimilate (transparent) = assimilate + ion
Derived by nominalizing the technical verb 'assimilate'; the modelling sense 'incorporating observations into a model' directly follows the 'integrate/incorporate' meaning.
Etymology
Assimilation comes from an old Latin verb made of ad- 'to' and similis 'similar', like the English word similar. In science and models, it means adding real observations into a model so the model becomes more like the real world and gives better results.
