Morphology
municipalization = municipalize (transparent) = municipal + ize + ation
Formed by the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize' on 'municipal' and the noun-forming '-ation' indicating the process or state.
Etymology
The word municipalization comes from municipal meaning 'of a town or city' and the ending -ization meaning 'making'. So, municipalization is when a service or asset is made to belong to the town or city and put under local government control.
