Morphology
sanctification = sanctify (transparent) = sanct + ify + ation
The word is a regular noun formed from sanctify with the suffix -ation, and its meaning 'the act of making holy' follows directly from the base word.
Etymology
Sanctification comes from the Latin root sanctus meaning 'holy' and the ending -fication meaning 'the act of making'. It is the same root behind sanctify, saint, and sanctuary, so sanctification is the act of making something 'holy' or setting it apart for a religious use.
