equilibration = equilibrate + equilibrium (transparent) = equilibr + ation
A regular nominalization of the verb 'equilibrate' (and closely related to 'equilibrium'), so the meaning 'process of bringing into equilibrium' is directly predictable.
Etymology
Equilibration comes from Latin parts equi- meaning 'equal' (the same root as equal) and libra meaning 'scales' or 'balance', which gives a strong image of things made even on a balance. So, equilibration is the process of making things even or balanced, which is why it means becoming stable or reaching a steady state.
