Morphology

magnetization = magnetize (transparent) = magnet + ize + ation

Formed by standard verb nominalization: 'magnetize' + '-ation' yields a noun denoting the process or result.

Etymology

Magnetization starts with magnet, from the Greek place name 'Magnesia' where people found magnetic stones, and ends with -ize 'to make' and -ation 'the act of'. So magnetization is the process of making a material magnetic.
