Oh sure. One minute you're extolling the virtues of the, I barely dare call it a word, fecu, I think I can just manage to type it out, lency, eeeww, there I did it, and the next minute you're being disgusted by the perfectly normal inventorisation. Sometimes, in the words of the immortal Eddie John, I get up in the morning and I just don't know.

At least there can be no doubt as to what "inventorization" means, and the previous
circumlocutions required to convey the meaning were even clumsier.

WWH sez: "At least there can be no doubt as to what 'inventorization' means. I agree.
inventorisation. Noun. The process of deciding who first discovered or crafted a process or thing, done in the absence of actual knowledge of the identity of the inventor. Usage: "If you don't know who invented X, you may engage in inventorisation to guess the most likely person."

what 'inventorization' means
Sorry, Father Steve, but inventorization is the process of installing vents and/or fans in interior rooms to allow circulation of air in those rooms. Which would be a good idea for Treasure Rooms/ safes! :-)

??? What the heck? I thought the article said they're doing (or trying to do) what I would call taking inventory.
So, how is the word pronounced: in-VENT-or-eye-za-tion, or IN-ven-toe-ree(rih?)-za-tion?
