Morphology
pressurization = pressurize (transparent) = pressurize + ation
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ation' to the verb 'pressurize', so the meaning 'the act or process of pressurizing' is directly compositional.
Etymology
Pressurization comes from pressure, which in turn comes from press meaning 'to push'. So when pressurization means influence or persuasion, think of it as a 'push' or force that tries to make someone do something.
