Etymology
Ritualization comes from ritual, which traces back to the Latin ritus meaning 'rite' or 'ceremony', plus the ending -ization meaning 'making' or 'process'. So, ritualization is the process of making actions into formal, repeated rites, which is why a graduation can feel like a long, meaningful tradition.
