Morphology

extrusion = extrude (transparent) = extrude + ion

Regular nominalization of the verb 'extrude' with '-ion' yields the act/process meaning directly.

Etymology

Extrusion comes from the parts ex- 'out' and a root meaning 'push', the same idea you see in the word thrust, so imagine squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. So, an extrusion is the act or result of something being pushed or squeezed out.
