Surface Forms
Morphology
vascularization = vascularize (semi-transparent) = vascular + ize + ation
Formed by a regular verb-to-noun suffixation from 'vascularize' (vascular + -ize), but 'vascularize' and the -ation nominalization are technical, so the step is predictable but may be unfamiliar to general learners.
Etymology
Vascularization comes from vascular, which comes from a root meaning 'vessel', and the ending -ization, which means 'the process of making'. So vascularization is the process of growing or making blood 'vessels' in tissue.
