/ˌfɔːməlaɪˈzeɪʃn//ˌfɔːrmələˈzeɪʃn/

The word "formalization" is derived from the Latin words "forma," meaning "form" or "shape," and "alis," meaning "to make or do." In the 16th century, the term "formalization" emerged in English to refer to the process of giving a formal or systematic structure to something, such as a concept, theory, or process. Initially, the term was used in the context of science and philosophy, where it referred to the attempt to rationalize and make explicit the underlying principles and assumptions of a particular discipline or field of study. Over time, the term expanded to encompass a broader range of areas, including mathematics, linguistics, computer science, and sociology, among others. In a more general sense, formalization involves the use of precise and rigorous language to describe and analyze complex phenomena, with the goal of achieving clarity, precision, and universality.
