Morphology
catheterization = catheterize (transparent) = catheter + ize + ation
Formed from the verb 'catheterize' with the standard nominalizer '-ation' meaning 'the act or process of catheterizing', a direct and regular derivation.
Etymology
Catheterization comes from the word catheter, which in Greek meant 'to send down' and named a small tube used in the body, and the ending -ization means 'the act of'. So, catheterization is the action of putting a tube 'down' into the body to drain or give fluids.
