bureaucratization

/bjˌʊɹɹoʊkɹˌæɾᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The formation of, or the conversion of something into, a bureaucracy.

Word Origin Bureaucratization is the process of becoming bureaucratic. It combines bureau (French for 'desk, office') and -crat (from Greek kratos 'rule') — so bureaucracy is 'desk rule.' The -ize suffix makes it a verb, and -ation a noun. The same -crat root gives us democrat (people rule), autocrat (self rule), and plutocrat (wealth rule). So bureaucratization is literally 'the process of making into desk-rule.'

noun The formation of, or the conversion of something into, a bureaucracy. countable
