Morphology
ozonation = ozonate (semi-transparent) = ozone + ate + ion
The noun is formed regularly from the technical verb 'ozonate', but the base word and the sense are specialized.
Etymology
Ozonation comes from ozone, a gas whose name comes from the Greek ozein meaning 'to smell', because ozone has a sharp smell, and the ending -ation meaning 'a process'. So ozonation means the process of using ozone to clean or purify water or air.
