Morphology
metrification = metrify (semi-transparent) = metr + ify + ation
The form is regular, but this poetic-literary sense is specialized and less immediately inferable for many learners.
Etymology
Metrification also means making writing follow a measured rhythm; it uses the same root metron meaning 'measure' and is like giving a poem a steady 'beat' as in meter in poetry. So metrification is arranging a poem so each line has a regular rhythm.
