Morphology
subjectification = subjectify (transparent) = subject + ify + ation
The sense 'making something more subjective' is a direct, regular derivation from 'subject' + '-ify' + nominalizer '-ation'.
Etymology
Subjectification comes from the word subject, like in subjective, meaning 'personal view', and the ending -ification, meaning 'making'. So it means turning facts or events into a personal view, making them about someone's experience or feelings.
