Morphology
deterritorialization = deterritorialize (semi-transparent) = de + territory + al + ize + ation
The noun is transparently formed from the verb 'deterritorialize' with the productive process suffix '-ation'.
Etymology
Deterritorialization breaks into de- meaning 'away' and territory meaning 'place' or 'land', so imagine something being pulled away from its home. So, deterritorialization is the process of losing a strong link to a particular place or culture.
