Morphology

emulsify = emulsion (transparent) = emuls + ify

Formed by a regular verb-forming suffix '-ify' applied to the noun stem 'emuls-' (from 'emulsion'), meaning 'to make into an emulsion'.

Etymology

Emulsify comes from the Latin root mulgere, which means 'to milk', because an emulsion looks like tiny drops mixed through another liquid and so can look like milk. So to emulsify is to mix two liquids such as oil and water into a smooth, 'milky' mixture.
