Morphology
individuation = individuate (semi-transparent) = individu + ation
Formally derived from the verb 'individuate' with the noun-forming suffix '-ation'; the relation to 'individual' is clear but the term is somewhat technical and the spelling/form differ from the common adjective.
Etymology
Individuation comes from the parts in- ('not') and divide ('to separate'), the same idea you see in the word individual which once meant 'not divided'. So individuation is the process of becoming a separate, single person or finding your own identity.
