Morphology

hygienization = hygienize (semi-transparent) = hygiene + ize + ation

The morphological formation is regular, but the extension to 'data hygiene' is a metaphorical/technical sense that may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Hygienization is also used for cleaning data; it comes from hygiene ('healthy') plus -ization ('process'), so it means making records or databases 'healthy' by removing errors and keeping information correct.
