Morphology

sissification = sissify (transparent) = sissy + ify + ation

The meaning follows directly from the base 'sissify' and the noun-forming suffix '-ation' as an act or process.

Etymology

Sissification comes from sissy ('a person seen as weak or feminine', from sis meaning 'sister') and the suffix -fication meaning 'making'. So sissification means 'making someone a sissy' and is used to describe actions that make a person seem or behave in a feminine way, often to shame them.
