Etymology
Oxidization comes from oxygen, a word made from Greek parts oxy- meaning 'sharp' or 'acid' and -gen meaning 'to produce', so oxygen once meant 'acid producer'. So oxidization is the process of combining with oxygen (or losing electrons), which is why it describes a chemical change like iron turning into rust.
