formalization

/ˈfɔɹməɫəˌzeɪʃən/ noun

The act of formalizing something.

Word Origin Formalization is all about giving something a definite shape — from Latin 'forma' meaning 'form' or 'shape.' The suffix chain -al, -ize, -ation turns 'form' into the process of making something structured and official. The same root gives us 'formula' (a little form), 'conform' (to shape together), and 'reform' (to shape again).
