carbonization

/kˌɑɹbənᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The act or process of carbonizing.

Word Origin Carbonization is the process of turning something into carbon — literally 'charcoal-izing'. It comes from Latin carbo, meaning 'charcoal' or 'ember', from the PIE root *ker- 'to burn'. That same root gives us carbon, carbonate, and even carboniferous (coal-bearing). So carbonization is a word that still smolders with its ancient fire.
