Morphology
monumentalization = monumentalize (transparent) = monument + al + ize + ation
A regular nominalization from the verb 'monumentalize' using '-ation', with a directly derived meaning.
Etymology
Monumentalization starts with monument, a large stone or building people make to 'remember' someone, and ends with -ize and -ation, parts that mean 'to make' and 'the act of'. So monumentalization is the act of making a person, event, or idea like a monument or treating it as very important and worthy of memory.
