Morphology
mineralization = mineralize (transparent) = mineral + ize + ation
Built from 'mineral' -> 'mineralize' -> 'mineralization'; the meaning 'process of becoming mineral' is directly derived.
Etymology
Mineralization comes from the word mineral, which originally meant 'from a mine' or a type of rock. So, mineralization is the process of becoming or gaining minerals, which is why it matters for building and strengthening bones and for minerals in water.
