Erodification

I awoke last night with the phrase God is doing an erodification. While being quiet today I heard the same word erodification. Erodification is technically not a word, but I will assume we can draw from the root word of erode.

1. To wear (something) away by or as if by abrasion: Waves eroded the shore.

2. To eat into; corrode.

3. To make or form by wearing away: The river eroded a deep valley.

4. To cause to diminish or deteriorate as if by eating into or wearing away: "Long enduring peace often erodes popular resolution" (C.L. Sulzberger).

v.intr.

To become worn or eaten away: The cliffs have eroded over the centuries. Public confidence in the administration eroded.
