Etymology
تَصْحِيح is the verbal noun of the Form II verb صَحَّحَ, meaning to correct or make sound. Both come from the triliteral Semitic root ص-ح-ح, which carries the core sense of health, soundness, and correctness. The same root gives صَحِيح, meaning correct or true, and صِحَّة, meaning health. There is no Indo-European root behind this word, since Arabic and its Semitic root system developed independently.
