Etymology
Ethnicization comes from ethnic, which goes back to the old Greek ethnos meaning 'people' or 'nation', plus the endings -ize ('to make') and -ation ('the act of'). So, ethnicization is the process of making something defined by a group's culture or origin, which is why we use it for changes that focus on ethnic identity.
