Emulsion
 
An emulsion is a colloid made up of two or more immiscible liquids in which one is dispersed in the other. This signifies that one sort of liquid particle is dispersed throughout another.
 
In other words, an emulsion is a unique form of mixture created by blending two liquids that ordinarily do not mix.

Milk
 
The word emulsion is derived from the Latin word 'emulgere', which means "to milk out" where 'ex' means"out" and 'mulgere' means "to milk" (milk is one example of an emulsion of fat and water).
Thus, emulsification is the process of turning a liquid mixture into an emulsion.
