How Collective
Surface Forms
Morphology
collectivized = collectivize (transparent) = collective + ize + ed
Formed by adding the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' to 'collective' and then the past-participial/adjectival '-ed'; the meaning 'made collective' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Collectivized comes from the root collect, which means 'to gather', plus -ized, meaning 'made' or 'turned into'. So, to collectivize something is to make it 'gathered together' under group or state control, which is why a collectivized farm or industry is owned or run by the community or government rather than by individual owners.
