Morphology
centralization = centralize (transparent) = central + ize + ation
The noun is transparently formed from the verb 'centralize' with the standard nominal suffix '-ation'.
Etymology
Centralization comes from central, which means 'at the center' and is like the common word center, and the ending -ization, which means 'a process'. So centralization is the process of bringing power or control to one central place, which is why it means putting authority under a single organization.
