Root Explanation

Quantification → It is formed from "quantus" (meaning how much) and "-ficare" (meaning to make or do). The word refers to the act of making something measurable or determining its amount.

Think of 'how much' ('quantus') being 'made' ('-ficare') into a measurable form — that's what quantification means.
