penalization

/pˌɛnəlᵻzˈeɪʃən/ noun

The act of punishing; punishment.

Word Origin Penalization comes from Latin poena 'punishment, penalty' — which also gives us pain. The root poena was borrowed into English as penal, then -ize makes it a verb, and -ation a noun. So penalization is the act of making something subject to penalty. The same root appears in punish, punitive, and subpoena (under penalty).
