Morphology
cannulization = cannula (semi-transparent) = cannul + ization
The meaning is built on the medical base 'cannula', but the stem is specialized and the derivation is technical rather than everyday vocabulary.
Etymology
Cannulization comes from the old Latin word cannula, which means 'little reed' or 'small tube'. Think of sliding a thin reed or tube into a place to let fluids go in or out, so cannulization means putting a small tube into a body part to give or remove fluids.
