Morphology

Judaization = Judaize (transparent) = Juda + ize + ation

Formed by adding the productive nominalizing suffix '-ation' to the verb 'Judaize' and denotes the process/result of making something Jewish, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Judaization comes from Juda- 'Judah' and -ization meaning 'the process of making'. So Judaization means making a place, culture, or thing more Jewish in character, much like Americanization means making something more American.
