Is acidizing anything like acidifying?

As I understand the terms, no.

Acidifying is to make something acid or more acidic.

Acidizing in this process is using an acid to remove material in the production zone of the well to allow more flow. The acid treatment is backwashed out prior to going into production. Some acid likely remains behind and is removed over time with the volume of flow of oil/gas.
