Morphology
electrification = electrify (semi-transparent) = electr + ify + ation
Derived from 'electrify' but the meaning is metaphorical ('to thrill' rather than literal supply of electricity), so the relation is partially predictable but involves a sense shift.
Etymology
Electrification also has a figurative use that comes from the same idea of electric shocks and sudden energy, like a spark that makes people feel alive. So in this sense electrification means causing strong 'excitement' or a powerful reaction in a group.
