Etymology

Internationalism, likely borrowed from German Adsorption, first coined c. 1882. Compare English adsorption of the same origin.

At any rate, ultimately from the Latin roots Latin ad- (“to, towards”) +‎ Latin sorbeō (“drink up”) +‎ Latin -tiō (noun-forming suffix), literally “drinking-up/sucking-in towards”.
