Morphology
neutralization = neutralize (transparent) = neutral + ize + ation
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ation' to 'neutralize'; the meaning is the process of making something neutral.
Etymology
Neutralization comes from neutral ('neither') and the ending -ization ('making'). In chemistry, it means 'making' a solution 'neither' acidic nor basic, for example when an acid and a base react to give salt and water.
