focalization

/fˌoʊkəlᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The act or practice of putting into focus.

Word Origin Focalization comes from Latin focus 'hearth, fireplace' — the center of the home. So to focus is to make something the center of attention, like gathering around the hearth. The word focus itself was borrowed into English in the 1600s, and from it we get focal, focalize, and refocus. The PIE root *dhegwh- 'to burn' also gives us foyer (a hearth-room) and fuel (what you burn). Focalization is the act of centering.
