communization = communize (transparent) = commun + ize + ation
Formed by verb 'communize' + nominalizing suffix '-ation', a regular and semantically predictable process.
Etymology
Communization comes from the same root as common and community, words that mean 'shared' or 'belonging to everyone'. So communization is the process of making land, factories, or businesses 'shared' by the community or the state, which explains why it refers to moving things out of private ownership into public ownership.
