pressurizations
Forcing air in
Pressurizations is the plural of pressurization—the process of maintaining air pressure in an enclosed space, especially aircraft cabins at high altitudes.
The word also applies to any system where pressure is deliberately increased or regulated: Multiple pressurizations of the fuel tank were required during testing.
Figuratively, it can describe instances of applying psychological pressure.
