iodization

/ˌaɪədᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The act or process of iodizing.

Word Origin Iodine gets its name from Greek iodes 'violet-colored' — when heated, it releases a stunning violet vapor. So iodization literally means 'making something violet-like' by adding iodine. The same Greek root eidos 'form' also gives us idea and idol, words about mental images and forms.
