Morphology

vitalization = vitalize (transparent) = vital + ize + ation

The noun is a regular formation from the verb 'vitalize' with the productive suffix '-ation'; the meaning 'the process of making vital' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Vitalization comes from the Latin root vita meaning 'life', and you can see the same root in words like vital and vitamin. So vitalization is the process of making something full of life or energy.
