Origin of the word ossification

The term "ossification" refers to the process by which soft tissues in the body, such as cartilage, are replaced by bone tissue. The word "ossification" comes from the Latin word "ossis" meaning "bone" and the suffix "-ification" which means "the act or process of making or becoming." Thus, ossification can be literally translated as "the act of making into bone." This process of ossification is critical in the development of bones during embryonic growth and also in the formation of bony structures in adults, such as in response to injury.
