Morphology

depressurization = depressurize (semi-transparent) = de + pressure + ize + ation

The suffix '-ation' straightforwardly forms a noun meaning the process of 'depressurizing'.

Etymology

Depressurization also comes from de- meaning 'down' or 'remove' and pressure meaning 'stress' or 'force'. Think of opening a valve to let steam out to make a room calmer, so depressurization can mean reducing social or mental pressure to lower stress and tension.
