suffix -izations · -isation

British, Canada, English, Oxford, US, countable Forms nouns denoting the act, process, or result of doing/making what is denoted by the noun/adjective. The Mexica do not sing alabanzas, thus any recent Mexica-ization, or rather Aztecization, of existing alabanzas (or the newly written) is the result of the Concheros' increased interest in the Aztec past and their desire to celebrate it.
