Etymology
'analyzation' originates from English, formed by adding the suffix '-ation' to the verb 'analyze', which itself comes from the Greek 'analyein' meaning 'to loosen up'.
'analyze' was formed from the Greek 'analyein', which became 'analyse' in French and then 'analyze' in English. The noun form 'analyzation' was created in English by adding '-ation'.
Initially, it meant 'the act of analyzing', and this meaning has remained the same, though 'analysis' is the preferred term.
